Stitch, from what I remember of you, you've been unhappy for a very, very long time.

This is the first step to getting happy again. Well done you, you're on the way to giving yourself and your DC's a happier future.

Oh stitch. You can do it.

Well done stitch, it took a lot of bravery to do this. I'm sorry you had to go through all of that, I hadn't read your thread until you linked it. Hopefully this will be a turning point for you. Lots of

well done stitch, you have done the right thing

well done for taking action against him

You've done what needed doing. You've done what is right for your family. A man cannot be allowed to act this way. Take care of you and your children, it may not seem like it yet but the nightmare is beginning to end.
