In a few weeks I will be gone with the children, he doesn’t know and neither do they yet.
My plan is to collect them from school and take them to new house. I can’t sit down and talk with him so he will return to an empty house. What do I write in the note to say we have gone? He’s been abusive and controlling for years and I fully expect a backlash.

The first few days are sometimes the hardest and then after that life will feel amazing and you’ll wish you did it years ago.
You are absolutely doing the right thing.
