Or trying, I just wanted to give you all a massive hug. I left mine over two years ago, after 8 years of trying. Today I told him I was no longer afraid and I meant it.
Been building back my life slowly over those 2 years and luckily I have family and friend support, but we do have children together so the contact is always there, so hence always abusive contact. It was always fear that held me back and today after several nasty emails again..... I was not fearful anymore. I do not know why, and maybe it won't last but for anyone else in the same boat, stay strong and it will come x
