Celebrating leaving abusive relationship

[TheScandinavian]

Just that really. Has anyone celebrated leaving? I'm mean once you moved and settled in your new home, did you do anything to celebrate? I really want to celebrate and do something to mark the beginning of my new life and end to the old?

I will celebrate with you virtually and I think having a real world celebration is a really good idea!

I had a haircut, bought a few very non 'me' items of clothing and invited some friends over to drink champagne.
It was a sunny Saturday and the relief of it all being over was fabulous and knowing he wouldn't come home drunk and wreck my evening yet again.

I breathed again and haven't stopped since

Wonderful idea! Cheers!

You should definitely celebrate and enjoy yourself. Good luck for a happy future op

You sound really happy. You lucky, lucky thing. I am raising a glass to you, and all the happiness the future holds.

I'm having a 'thank fuck it's over' party in July

MyGast oh really? Tell me more I was thinking of doing something similar, just don't know whether I just invite friends over or just me and the dc

In the summer I'm inviting all my friends over for a barbecue, I've had 3 years of hell since leaving and it's finally all over (court case) me and the boys are settled in our forever home now... damn right I'm celebrating!

Oh MyGast I'm jealous I wish you all the best. It feels good, doesn't it?

Thanks. It's been horrendous but finally over now.
