Here goes - thread 4 and definitely the last one now, sheesh!!

Who knew instigating divorce could be so bloody long winded!!

My last thread was 'It isn't Work Stress, it's emotional abuse and you're going to get divorced because of it H!'

Rottweiler solicitor (Rottie) and a non molestation order on Tuesday yippee!!

I haven't posted before but have read all your threads. It really seems like it is going to happen and all your planning is going to pay off at last.

I just read that you think he may be downstairs and it has made me feel, nervous and jumpy for you so god knows how you must be feeling!

I just wanted to say good luck, put on the act of your life for these last few hours, you are nearly there......

That's the huge collective sigh of relief from everyone reading this thread!

BetsyBell · 24/10/2014 08:25

Hooray!!!

Chocrock · 24/10/2014 08:25

missed it! You are there well done Name! Hooray!!

Itsfab · 24/10/2014 08:26

You were my first thought this morning, name Blush.

Please be careful. It has worried me he did something that seems out of character - obviously I don't know much about him as didn't see your first thread -

Is there someone on here you trust to swap numbers with so they can let people know you are out and safe in case you can't or even send a code to phone for help if needed? I am happy to do it but clearly there are others who are closer to you.

Delurking after reading 3,354 posts to say hooray, you're amazing. Really good luck with everything that comes in the next few hours, days, weeks, and months. You've shown time and time again you're strong enough, resourceful enough and organised enough to deal with it all.
Your new life is going to be amazing Flowers

TommyandGina · 24/10/2014 08:30

Well done, now keep driving and never look back, and make sure you enjoy that large ??later on.

Itsfab · 24/10/2014 08:31

Oops, I obviously take too long to type. GREAT NEWS!!

Be careful, don't' go getting a speeding ticket now.

oldgrandmama · 24/10/2014 08:34

Oh name, I've just started crying 'cos I'm SO relieved you're away. I've had a terrible night - all your fault (smile)! When I did sleep, I dreamed of you and when I kept waking up, I couldn't stop speculating on all the stuff that could go wrong today to stop your escape. And the hamsters are with you too!

But you're OFF! You did the right thing leaving in the morning. The worst is over. It really is. Yes, it'll be pretty awful with him kicking off, being a bloody pest, but not as bad as what you've had to put up with for all those years.

gonerogue · 24/10/2014 08:34

delurking to say woohoo - well done Name you made your plans and stuck to them.

Safe travels to you and the girls (and hamsters).

Delighted for you - it's been a while in the making but you got there.

ZombiePartridge · 24/10/2014 08:36

Delighted to hear that - I'm on a delayed train and have been obsessively rechecking every 15 minutes in hopes that you'd gone Thanks

Losingmyreligion · 24/10/2014 08:37

Thank god. And breeeeathe, everyone.

Itsfab · 24/10/2014 08:40

I thought it was haribos that you had left with along with your DD's BlushGrin.

BringMeTea · 24/10/2014 08:42

Wonderful news. Onwards!

Victrix · 24/10/2014 08:43

Hip hip hooray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AndyWarholsOrange · 24/10/2014 08:56

Name I've followed you from the beginning and am de lurking to say a massive WELL DONE!!!!!! You are an inspiration and you and your girls have a wonderful future ahead of you. I know you've expressed so much gratitude for the support you've had here but I want you to know that there are hundreds of women in shit abusive relationships reading and gaining strength from your story and seeing that it is possible to get out. You've had no choice but to 'play the game' these past few months but you've kept your dignity and sense of humour and you've WON!! You're amazing and I am so happy for you x

auntpetunia · 24/10/2014 09:05

Fan bloody tastic!!!!!! Relief is overwhelming, I can't begin to imagine how you must feel xxx huge hugs xx

Alicebannedit · 24/10/2014 09:12

What Andy ^ says!

I am sitting here in tears and so, so relieved that you are out. Wishing you and your family safe journeying to your parents' house and on all your future paths.

Excellent well done, that survivor! Flowers

LemonDrizzleTwunt · 24/10/2014 09:16

Name you incredible, utterly inspirational glorious beast! I am de lurking once again to say a massive congratulations, and that I have read every single message on every single thread, silently willing you on all the way.

Twatchops is out of your life, his shitty plastic chair qualities are giving to mean that he is never ever going to tie you down again.

Congratulations on the first day of the rest of your life, I know it sounds strange but I am so proud of you. If you're ever anywhere near Gloucester please let me know, I would like to buy you lunch, and a glass of champagne!

LemonDrizzleTwunt · 24/10/2014 09:17

*going to mean! not giving!

rumbleinthrjungle · 24/10/2014 09:20

Oh Thank God!! Well done Name!!! Brilliantly played!

So happy to think of you and the girls (and the hamsters) all on the freedom road this morning!
