Just finding it so hard. I left 8 month's ago because of various reasons, mostly misery, his alcohol/drug abuse, verbal abuse, staying in bed whenever not working or drinking and overall never present or interested in me or children. I'm stuck living right beside him, which has been helpful transition for the kids but very hard for me.
I work in a job supporting traumatised people.
I'm so lonely. Its my birthday tomorrow and other than my parents no one has remembered. I'm overweight. He's moved on, is living in our family home and having a great time with his new partner who has met our kids and they are off on a 5 star holiday soon.
It's still better than it was being with him, but the courts are so slow and fuck this. I feel ill never be free.
