Secret planning to leave DH - days to go .

[Mydoghasbettereyebrowsthanme]

Hi there - previous thread started with DH AWOL , arrested for drink driving . Final straw for me in out marriage , planning to leave in secret on Thursday. 6 days to go . Feeling shit about everything - pain the kids will have to go through , pain and upset his family and him . Wishing he was a reasonable person enough that we could separate amicably. Wishing I could predict which way this is going to go- hating the double life I am currently leading . started this thread just for the hand holding whilst the proverbial hits the fan over the next 7 days !

You are so brave. I've been watching this all day waiting for your update. I honestly think you are amazing I wish I'd had the same courage you have when I was in a situation I should have left.
Enjoy that wine and get some food.

Well done OP. How did your H react?

So glad to hear the move went well, today is the first day of the rest of your life! Enjoy your first night in your new home, knowing you can relax completely because he's not going to do or say anything anymore.

Well done OP

Best news all day.

Sleep well and enjoy making new memories with your babies x

@Mydoghasbettereyebrowsthanme I have recently made a very similar break after many years of waiting for the right moment and thinking it was best for DC if I stayed. I am the happiest I have ever been, I wish the same for you.

Well Done

Wonderful, wonderful news! Enjoy your peaceful and calm new house. One where YOU get to make ALL the rules and there is no one to criticize you or put you down.

What a joyful place it must be!

I don't know about anyone else but I keep going back to OP'S photo of the wine and just wish I could knock on her door and go and give her a bloody great hug.

So glad to hear you managed to get away. A better life for you, the dcs and ddog starts now. Wishing you much happiness. Stay safe.

My eyes got all wettish reading your update, Eyebrows! That picture does indeed speak a thousand words. Words of freedom, celebration, a future. A good future. I'm so delighted for you.

Well done - this brings back so many memories. Hope you feel like I did in the morning, waking up everyday knowing I made the best decision of my life.

So pleased for you. Your new home looks amazing already. Children are so resilient and having a happy calm home will help them, and you, thrive.
The next few weeks and months may have a few tough times but you have their welfare first and foremost. You have got this. Please remember this when and if you have a wobble. You sound amazing. Enjoy your tipple. I am genuinely so proud of you.
