I’m finally leaving something awful after 3 years of dealing with a selfish, critical, tight, moody and bossy man.
Breaking away was hard, i was made to ‘make the break’ about 5 times because he constantly acted like it was just me throwing toys out of the pram, when really it was that I was desperately unhappy, knew it had to end and was trying to start the hellish process of leaving.
We have 2DC ages 1 & 3. I’ve asked him to buy me out the home (I’ve been mentally tormented in these 4 walls, on and off from the minute we moved in). He has agreed. We do 50/50 childcare, but when he works he works away so it’ll be all me and he will pay some £ (exactly what is tbc).
I’m splitting my time between the shared house with the kids and my parents - who THANK GOD - have room for me and have seen what he’s been like so fully support the split.
I just wanted to tell anyone reading this who is scared to take that first step that even though it’s very hard, you will feel so much better on the other side.
I used to read posts on here all the time and feel like I could never leave because of his reaction. I was scared of him, not that he’d hit me, but of how verbally horrible he would be, and I was proven right he has been horrible to me, but it’s still worth it.
Be strong x
