In the process of leaving

[Toomuchinfo1]

So I've decided to leave my boyfriend, as I know things aren't right between us. we do get on well most of the time, but he has had anger and drug issues.

I've finally decided that enough is enough and I have moved some of my things to my mums house. He has made it clear that he thinks I'm being silly, and I'm pretty sure he is just going to enjoy his weekend, and thinks I'll be back in a couple of days.

I guess what I need help with at this stage is how do I stay strong and follow this through? I'm unhappy when I'm with him, but I really miss him now! It would be so easy to get in my car and just go back there (which I've done many times).

I have such an awful feeling in the pit of my stomach. How long until it gets a bit easier?

I have friends. They are all pretty much married with kids, & i've not been great at sharing what has been going on. I think ive neglected a few of my close friends over the last year. Got some bridges to build I think.

Mum has suggested a social group that runs in the city. People my age, meeting up to socialise & do nice things. Going to have a look at that tonight

tbh I'd think about building bridges first - real friends and real support will help a lot in this situation.

Contact refuge. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Your partner will not change, that's the hard tough truth. Post here if you wobble - you know you're doing the right thing in leaving him. Big hugs xx

Thanks frying
