I’m celebrating 😁

[GoodSister]

I left my old life two years ago yesterday, I’ve had a couple of drinks this evening and watched Sleeping with the Enemy, to remind me of how shit my life was. It’s not perfect now, but freedom and peace count for so much more than you could imagine, so happy these days

Well done OP

So nice to see updates like this. It gives hope to others in the same position as you were.
Well done OP

Thank you both, it was bad, I used to wish that I could just be in a different situation, and somehow I found the strength and courage to leave him. I posted on here a few times, I talked to friends, I read newspaper reports about women being killed by their husbands/ partners, but talking to one friend in particular just changed everything. I listened to myself, I was as astonished as my friend was that I lived that life, I drove 120 miles and rented a house, ordered a bed, phoned removal men and moved a few weeks later. He had beaten me, pulled my hair out, took all my money, burnt my clothes, virtually made me a prisoner in our house. I didn’t have a home, a home is somewhere you feel safe, I didn’t have that, I used to spend the nights in car parks, too scared to go home to a drugged up husband. But not now, life is far simpler, I’ve made friends, I’m happy, peaceful and free

Where the fuck do these blokes come from?

@Shinjirarenai I’ve no idea where they come from, but I understand how it happened, they target, they behave really well, they manipulate, they then bully, but he hasn’t won, I go to counselling, both group and 1 -2-1, and I don’t show the scars, but I do hate him. It was 23 years, but I’ve loads left to live, so happy, danced to “She’s got a ticket to ride” This morning

Congratulations! You are brave and strong. You deserve to be happy. have you taken steps to make sure he can’t find you? 💗

Great to hear xxx well done

Good for you OP, congratulations.

@FarquarKumquatsmam He knows where I am, I didn’t tell him to start with, but he claimed he had a teacher on my car, he also knew part of my address, so I reckoned that the fear of him finding out wasn’t worth it, and just gave him my new address. Quite luckily he called after a few months in a cocaine state of mind and demanded that I divorced him, and transferred half (!) the cost to me, so we are divorced now

Tracker on my car not teacher

Cheers to you Well done OP x

I had my 10 years of freedom anniversary last summer and the buzz never fades.

Well done OP ❤

Well done @GoodSister
Glad you managed to leave and build a life for yourself.

Well done xxx

Oh what a wonderful update. Well done you

Amazing!!!

Wow, well done xxx Glad you're doing ok. xxx

Amazing!!

Amazing 🌸🌸

Congratulations on two free years, glad you got out. It is so worth it to feel free, able to choose what to do and when to do it. My ex wasn't as bad as yours, he was a narc who specialised in coercive and financial abuse but no physical abuse. I've been free for 4 years (we were together for 26) and it's amazing. Unfortunately, not yet divorced in my case.

Well done OP! so impressive and so happy for you!

How fantastic! Well done OP! I am so sorry that you suffered through 23 dreadfully scary years, but delighted to hear your story's happy ending. Thank you so much for sharing. Continue to enjoy your freedom and celebrate this day every anniversary

So happy for you OP 🤗
