After almost thirty years with an increasingly financially and emotionally abusive husband, it ends today. I feel incredibly relieved and a bit sad for my dc who would undoubtedly prefer the status quo.
It's as amicable as it can be I suppose mostly because I suspect he has stashed money away and he is being pleasant because of that. Tbh if he has then it's a small price to pay in my eyes.
So the start of my new life and peace at last. Of course he might not remain amicable but it feels not as bad knowing I can lock the doors and keep him out.
I've read lots of the advice on here over the last eighteen months and feel much better prepared than I would have been and ready for what might lay ahead Flowers to all.

All the best op. Glad you are getting out. Post here even if it's just to chat, sharing what is going on is a huge relief and helps a lot.

Well done on taking this step, and wishing you all the very best in life. I am sure there will be times over the next few weeks when you have a wobble, and question what you have done but remember this is the beginning of the rest of your life, and you are doing the very best possible thing for yourself, and DC. Sending you brave thoughts!
