This year has been awful and heart breaking and full of fear.
I left my emotionally and mentally abusive relationship 9 months ago, after he locked me in the house got drunk and assualted me.
The court case is now over, we got a guilty. I also have a restraining order.
I've been in therapy 5 months, this will be ending soon.
I have been told that the responsibility I lost at work this year because I just couldn't cope is being given back to me in the new year.
This weekend I've bought all my favourite food and a bottle of plonk. I've put up my tree this week and I'm spending the weekend in my lovely peaceful, drama and pain free home watching films and pampering myself.
I'm getting used to not feeling the dread when he walks through the door. I'm loving being able to fall asleep knowing he isn't going to wake me up screaming.
I'm now revelling in the I can do whatever I want, this is what healing feels like isn't it?
