I'm not the one and onlyyyyy as my name suggests. I've had another name on here for a while. I would change it from time to time for advice then hide the thread and ignore it.
When I first joined Mumsnet I thought a lot of posters would ask relationship advice and get told there partners were abusive and to leave. For what I considered fairly common things. Then I started to take it in a bit more. And I started to tell my partner that actually no. I'm not going to accept being called names, being criticised, being told off, not allowed to do anything my way. Because it's abusive. And the more I stuck up for myself, the far worse it got. And over the last while...really bad.
It's taken a lot to arrange and I won't say much but this morning I took barely any of our things and removed my children and me to safety. And here I am. Got beautiful kids in the room with me fast asleep and I'm here stressed to the hilt but relieved.
Long way to go. But, if u hadn't been on here reading posts for so long I honestly don't think I would've realised properly what was going on before it got too bad.
So, Thankyou
Thanks

Well done for taking the first step. This was me 12 months ago. Its not easy at time and still isn't but i can't tell you how much better my life now is 1 year on.... Keep going and also have a look at the Freedom Programme online. I think this was a massive help for me. Good luck x

Well tonight we are back in our home just me and the kids.
Today I went shopping and was able to choose what I thought. They were bathed, fed and now sleeping in their own beds for the first time ever properly.
I was running around tidying after them and then I reminded myself I don't have to do that. All the decisions are mine. I can say I'll do it tomorrow. I can move things around in the house.
It's been a weird day but we are ok
