for everyone who is separated and feels alone today

[hereweare2011]

remember you are alone because you are better off alone, better off without the partner you left. i am still with the partner i need to leave and ive just been abused as a wake up to a merry christmas day! seems everything is my fault - so my point is whilst you may be feeling alone today, not everyone who isnt 'alone' is having a blast today. i long to be alone away from this man - merry christmas and peace to everyone today and everyday

What did the fucker do to you?

Can you go somewhere else?

Yes am alone, dc with xh, but I am better off as you say and actually I am fine with my coffee and MN

You know what you need to do then OP , why wait ?

hearwe I'm sorry you have had a bad start to the day. But you know you deserve better don't you? And it isn't you fault, whatever it is.

Make a resolution now that by next Christmas things will have changed and you won't still be in the same position. You will get support from us and it will all be fine!

Happy Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all those alone & fed up either in or out of a relationship!! I am seperated & on excellent terms with exh he has been round taken dd off to visit his mum then he & dd coming back to my parents for dinner but it still feels like a lonely time without someone special in my life other than dd!! x Mind you there is always next year!! x

Dear OP

Being alone (well, just with my DD) for me is a total joy. 6th xmas like this for us and I still appreciate the total lack of grumpy abusive twat in my life, especially at xmas.

Please do whatever you need to do to get away from your relationship so you can experience this same joy too yourself

The grass IS greener on the other side

It hurts like he'll to know when I finnish work I will sit alone in my room waiting to start work again tomorrow . There is always someone worse off than me though. It's good to read some of the more cheerful items on MN
at this time. Hope every ones day goes well.

OP, are you ok ?

I am sorry you are feeling low, FBF

hi op sorry to hear that you are still in an abusive relationship, i really hope its different for you next christmas, it was xmas 2009 that my now exh was particulalry vile to me and it was then i made a pledge to myself that by xmas 2010 i would not be in the same postion, at the time i didnt know what the hell i was going to do about it but i just knew i couldnt carry on in the relationship,

2 years on and i am divorced, and much happier, the build up to this xmas has been stress free and peaceful compared to the last 18 i shared with him, and i am off to enjoy a lovely xmas lunch with 12 other members of my family without the drama, spitefulnesss and humilation that i routinely had when exh was with me, so look to the future op, you can change your situation and i found MN to be so helpful when i needed advice and reassurance, i really hope today passes off as calmy as it can for you and your family (sorry typos)
