I have posted quite a bit here and in the relationships forum about my husband who I think is a narcissist and emotionally abusive. Very grateful for all the support.

It has taken me about a year of therapy to get to this point, but today my solicitor sent him the divorce papers. This won’t have been a surprise because I have told him many many times how unhappy I am with how I am treated told him they were coming today.

Not at all surprising, but he is now ignoring me and wouldn’t even have a conversation about who will drop off/pick up DC tomorrow. He also ignored me in front of the DC.

I was ok until I came home from work. Now I’m being ignored I’m panicking that I’ve done the wrong thing. I’m sad there will be no family fun anymore. For some reason I thought maybe be could be friends one day but I am realising how its really going to be and how awful that is for our children and thinking maybe I should have just put up with it.

I feel so sad.

Just looking for some encouragement really…

Keep going. There never was any family fun really, it was only what he wanted. This is a ploy to get you to crack but you are wise to his antics now and you are stronger.

You should never have to put up with someone who's abusive towards you and you've completely done the right thing. Divorce is hard and it will take a while to sort everything out and it'll take it's toll emotionally too.

Think of this as the beginning and know that it will get better. Your kids will still love you and you'll be able to make friends of your own now.
