THANK YOU strong women of mumsnet

[MamaMotherMummy]

Didn't think to post this at the time... But mumsnet helped me to realise my marriage was abusive. Since it was good most of the time it was easy to deny deny deny. But mumsnet planted the seed in my mind that it was truly abusive.

Now I have:
Self respect
My own life
A full brand new shiny set of BOUNDARIES
a feeling of confidence and self assurance
A whole new set of friends
A respectful and loving DP
A suddenly developed wicked sense of humour
A new fashion sense
Totally new life aspirations

Basically, I got my life back, and even better than it was before. So thank you wise women of mumsnet.

Oh and a divorce of course! I was so afraid to have a divorce before, but actually it was brilliant!

Congrats!

I’m hoping to be you soon- recently left abusive DH. It’s tough going but “you only get one life”

That's great to hear. Congratulations.

Congratulations, have a great life.

And thank you for the update, its lovely when we get to hear what happened...

Yay!

Live as if this is all there is 💗

Brilliant - well done!

That’s lovely to hear op. I think those women that retain a sense of self and onwards and upwards usually come out ok

Congratulations

Same! 3 years on and whilst I still have to deal with the ongoing attempts at control/abusive messages in the guise of parenting my life is immeasurably better.

The joy I get from coming home to my own house is priceless. Lots of messages, advice and real life coffee from a mumsnetter helped more than I can possibly say.

Bloody marvellous, well done to you.

Fan bloody tastic, well done you both! So good to hear good news of freedom from such disgusting men

Bloody brilliant. Well done you! This has to be Mumsnet at its best. Keep on being you, brilliant and fun.

Wonderful to hear. I hope to be you some day

Well done, I'm nearly one year out and so so happy compared to this time last year. I'm Not really seeing anyone but meeting new people all the time. I hear you on the fashion sense! It's like I'm living again! Long may it continue and nice to see a happy post!

So happy for us all
