This is a follow on from this thread www.mumsnet.com/Talk/relationships/a2131899-Victor-Meldrew-warning-a-bit-of-a-rant
11 days ago I had the courage to tell Victor I'm going. I have had the emotional blackmail, lies, promises, threats but I am just so pleased to be escaping I have stood up to it all. Many thanks to the ladies and gent on here who gave me their support and the courage to do it.
This is my 7th attempt and I feel totally different this time, calm and confident that I am doing the right thing. I have found a beautiful flat, far nicer than I thought I would get and I move in next Friday. Most of my small amount of stuff is in storage. I had to fight to get it as Victor didn't think I was entitled to take anything as I was the one ending it. Even the stuff I had moved I with!! He has lied to my parents about me, told lies to me about what they have said about me. Thankfully they now see him in his true colours and are helping me with furniture for my new home.
If I hadn't put that post on here, I really don't think that I would have have had it in me to do it, it made me realise I am not alone in this situation and I can survive, no better than that, I can live a better life alone.
Thank you!
