Good one you Name. Enjoy the day with the girls.

Joysmum · 25/10/2014 10:53

Good for you and glad your dad is doing the tight thing too.

Joysmum · 25/10/2014 10:54

Wtf *right

tribpot · 25/10/2014 10:54

Name you can always type a post in Notepad and then just copy and paste it into MN, but for now focus on enjoying your post-H life.

SassyPasty · 25/10/2014 11:18

So so pleased for you. Enjoy your day out Thanks

auntpetunia · 25/10/2014 11:28

Good one names dad!! That's the right thing to do. Enjoy your day with the girls.

Just one question does your dad have any sort of tracking on his ohone, I know you've disabled yours but as twatty knows dad's number can he track him via that. Not wanting to frighten you but best to cover all backsides. Grin

Tmrgl · 25/10/2014 11:38

Also if your car is in his name he might report it stolen?

YonicScrewdriver · 25/10/2014 11:59

I don't think you can track someone's phone just by knowing the number! For Find My Iphone I think you have to know iTunes password too.

YonicScrewdriver · 25/10/2014 12:00

"Also if your car is in his name he might report it stolen?"

I would hope that would be wasting police time, as OP is probably on the insurance and he will know full well she has it.

UpWithWitchIWillNotSpook · 25/10/2014 12:26

The "stolen car" thing isn't completely without merit. Some agencies aren't as joined-up as they should be, sadly. name, make sure your PO knows the numberplate, etc, if you think this might be apropos (for instance, if he's the registered keeper).

OvertiredandConfused · 25/10/2014 16:46

Tweets can legally be traced if you know what you're doing unless location services is turned off. I know you've already got your phone covered. Good advice about the car.

JuxtheDaemonVampire · 25/10/2014 21:28

Good to hear from you Name. Glad your dad held strong and didn't answer xh's call. Long may it last.

Hope you had a good day and the children enjoyed it too. Sleep well tonight.

Zazzles007 · 25/10/2014 21:30

Thanks for the quick update Name. Enjoy the time with your girls, without Twatty hanging over your head like the sword of Damocles. It must be wonderful to be out in the sunshine (metaphorically that is).

Stay safe Name, Thanks Cake Brew and lots of Wine now that you are out of there Grin.

RandomMess · 25/10/2014 21:39

Glad your Dad supported you, KOKO and enjoy the freedom Flowers

thenamehaschanged · 26/10/2014 07:39

Morning everyone! Thank you so much as always for all your messages - they mean everything to me as you are the only contact with the outside world I am currently having!

H has given up trying to call my parents - he called them both on Friday night and left my mum a very mournful sounding message saying he assumed I was with them, could she give me a call asap!! Which she hasn't obviously. Feel good this morning - tomorrow I will be talking to Rottie and having to look at my phone and emails to see how much contact there has been.

Have a lovely Sunday everyone Grin Thanks

So lovely to hear you sounding so positive!

RandomMess · 26/10/2014 07:44

You too Flowers Grin hope your dps don't drive you crazy too quickly!!!

FunkyBoldRibena · 26/10/2014 07:45

Good to hear Name. Thanks

40somethingwonderful · 26/10/2014 08:16

Fantastic, I have been following your threads from the beginning.

Wishing you and your girls all the best for the future.

thenamehaschanged · 26/10/2014 08:30

Thank you 40!

Thanks, Ribena, Random and Fluffy! Thanks

Yes so far so good with my DP's. My mum said yesterday that she felt guilty about having minimised things and had believed that keeping the family together was the best thing to do. She now sees that I have done the best thing. She remembers times when H wasn't 'talking' to me even in front of them.

I've had a few momentary thoughts that H will be thinking what a coward I am for cutting and running like this, that you should say to peoples faces and will probably make me out to be melodramatic that is unless he's hung himself! But I also console myself with the fact that I had been telling him how unhappy I was over the years, I had told him I'd had enough, I had made moves to end the marriage lots of times and I saw a solicitor to serve him divorce papers - there wasn't much else I could do with a dominator of his proportions!

Good morning! And what a positive start to a Sunday morning. So glad your parents are on side, for now at least, and that your mum has seen the light in regard to your hs behaviour, I bet she starts remembering more bad behaviour as she accepts the current situation.

I hope you're enjoying your twatty free time and I bet the girls are so much more relaxed because you will be.

Looking forward to hearing how things go with rottie tomorrow, but mainly hearing that H has actually moved out and moved on.

Go easy on the Wine but enjoy plenty ofGrin and Cake with your family xxx

DocMcStuffinsBigBookOfOuches · 26/10/2014 09:05

Delighted to hear your parents have stepped up now that it really counts and are fully supporting you. I'm glad you've been able to have this weekend as a time out from even checking your phone/email contact from ex (and how good is it to know he is definitely an ex now? Grin)

UpWithWitchIWillNotSpook · 26/10/2014 09:13

Happy Sunday!

I know you said this would be your last fred. Ha! Fat chance of it - all the congratulations alone is going to push you up to 1000 in no time. But in the nicest way!

trackrBird · 26/10/2014 09:30

Glad you're getting some peace, name!
You're no coward: you have enormous presence of mind and endurance. You did what you had to do. There was no other way.
Hope the hamsters have settled in :)
