I don’t really know why I’m posting really….. maybe to have an outlet or maybe to remind myself how well I’m doing and how far I’ve come while asking people for advice of what I need to do next….. or just to ramble….
I’ve left my abusive husband and he’s being charged for coercive and controlling behaviours as well as some other charges but I don’t want to be too outing!
I left a couple of months ago after yet another assault and I’m not ever ever going back! Me and our children are safe and have a long road ahead- I am envisioning court battles and solicitors but I’m (kinda) ready.
Do you know though - the one thing I’m sure of is 10 years ago when we got married I knew then that I shouldn’t marry him and I still did it! I knew when we moved in together that it was wrong and he wasn’t a nice person and I felt the same when we bought our first house together and when we moved to our beautiful 6 bedroomed forever home I knew that wasn’t right either but yet I kept going these things! I know having regrets doesn’t change things but as a warning to other people who are just starting out - take note of the red flags and leave while you can!
