Hi everyone, I have posted on here many times under many different usernames, looking for advice and hope to get me out of what seemed like an impossible situation. So many of you were so understanding and helped me through the worst time in my life.
I have 4 DC, been married twice and had 2 DC from each marriage. My stbexh was enotionallyband financially abusive for years and I couldn’t really see it properly. I thought it must be me as he was always so plausible with his gaslighting. I moved out of our bedroom in March this year and left our family home, taking DC with me at the start of May, I can honestly say I am happy! It’s the hardest but best decision I have ever made. My DC are happy again, don’t get me wrong, they play me up and life is hard sometimes, but the good far outweighs the bad. I left our 5 bedroom detached house in a great area to rent a tiny 3 bedroom terraced house in a not so great area, houses and stuff do not make you happy.
I wanted to come back on here and say a massive thank you to everyone who posted on my threads, supported me from afar and basically gave me courage I didn’t think possible to totally change mine and my DC lives.
If anyone is reading this feeling stuck, message me, or post on this thread, you really can do it and come out the other side happy!
