I can't copy and paste a link rather annoyingly - but this is my follow on thread from my original How far can he take the stressed from work excuse?

It burst at the seams with all the fantastic MN support I received and so I have started a new one as I carry on my journey of divorcing my very abusive husband.

Thanks

It's done!!!!!

He got the papers at 10.50am. I was in the freedom programme so missed his 5 calls but answered my solicitors call who confirmed it!!

Woah don't know how I feel - my mum called me - he's been on the phone to them, in shock, never saw this happening, thought we were working things out.

The lovely lady from the freedom prog is coming back with me to be there while I talk to the police

He's told my mum he can't come back to the house as that will be seen as aggressive

I'm In shock I think hahaha!!!!!!!!

Thank you thank you thank you everyone!!!!!

I'm so pleased for you, and proud of you. Good for the FP lady's support; I'm sure you're going to feel very weird today, and she sounds like the perfect person to have around.

Another lurker de lurking to say WELL DONE YOU!!!!

Dinnaeknowshitfromclay · 23/09/2014 13:33

Yay! Thanks for name

old Tenterhooks were metal hooks that they had near the ceiling in castles and large cold stone buildings to hang canvas tent like things on in the winter to insulate the room. Later the posh version became tapestries. On tenterhooks means you are hanging about.

Dinnaeknowshitfromclay · 23/09/2014 13:37

Veritable one woman wikipaedia me!

auntpetunia · 23/09/2014 13:38

name you amazing wonderful woman. Am so pleased it's done and that the police and freedom lady are supporting you Thanks

thenamehaschanged · 23/09/2014 13:51

Urgh well the police misled me, they aren't coming over at 1, they're booked to call me from 1 so I said don't worry to the FP lady and have just come home.

I sent H a text to say that I'm sorry if he feels bad but my minds made up and that I would like a few days no contact to let the dust settle - he has sent 2 texts straight back pleading and is now phoning as I type.

Might call the police back
