To be happy to have left my husband?

I left my husband ... and I actually feel giddy with excitement about my life now? He was abusive, he'd lock me in the house, keep money from me, damage my car so I couldn't work, bully our children, spend my inheritance on gambling, bankrupt us ... endless list of stupidity.

Myself and children are so happy to be out!!

My parents. and my older (60'ish) family tell me to go back. I'm shameful, me leaving my husband is not in Jesus's teaching's blah blah blah. (Where is emotional and financial abuse in these 'teaching's?')

Am I unreasonable to be overjoyed with leaving my abusive husband?

I’d tell them to fuck off and that you’re not taking advice from people who clearly condone abusive behaviour, or who are affiliated to organisations that condone misogyny and cover up child abuse.
Their judgement is clearly skewed.
But I am hardline atheist, you might be less certain and more polite than me.
