Finally heading towards a divorce from EA husband and as expected, in these final days he's doing whatever he can to upset me and piss me off. I've had the odd rant to a few friends/family (some know the background of why we're splitting, some don't) and several of them have excused his current bad behaviour with the line "you're the one who wanted to divorce". I don't know how to respond to this.
I'm finding its upsetting me more than it probably should. So the alternative was putting up with a man who physically, emotionally and financially abused me? I can almost excuse the ones who don't know what's really happened but those that do should surely know better.
I know I need to ignore it and just get on with things but having had so little support down the years from those around me it hurts. Yes, its true, I was the one who wanted the divorce. Does that mean I don't deserve to be treated properly? I had to be silent for so long and now I'm finally speaking up this is what I'm being told by loved ones.
