lol, I can't beleive the nerve of some people, asking to see YOUR business accounts and checking how much YOU are spending out of the joint account.

Hi Hollie,
Sounds like you're feeling stronger and making really good progress with your leaving plans. That's brilliant.
It's funny reading your H's comments, because they sound so ludicrous from where I'm sitting. He sounds like a total fantacist, talking about having you thrown out. But on the other hand I know exactly how good this kind of man is at sounding convincing. I do understand how easy it is to become lost in the maze of their crazy logic.
Really willing you to move up and on now. Stay strong (and DON'T be ashamed) you've done nothing wrong.

hollie
is good to hear you're getting it together - just stay focused on what you want. sounds like you've got him on the run already - that was quick. you need good legal advice asap. he may well go for trying to psyche you out in the hopes you'll up sticks. is usually the other way round but who knows? just keep your head down and do take care, the sun will shine i'm sure.

Hollie - sounds like your plans are starting to come together. Stay strong and stay safe.
