[stitch]

and they have taken him away. they were absolutley fabulous. and it hasnt sunk in yet. i am not terrified yet.
oh dear.

shit stitch, I didn;t know anything about this. I remember meeting you at the London meet up years ago and enjoying chatting. I'm so sorry you've been put through this - your op on the other thread makes me want to cry. stay strong. you're absolutely doing the right thing. bit by bit you'll build a whole new life and it will be a good one.

well done lady
long overdue for him

Its so great to hear the police were good and that you have jumped another hurdle - be proud! You have made your own, your DC's and probably other womens lives better by your actions. All power to you. x

So glad things are going as well and even better than expected, stitch. It sounds like the police are being brilliant and it's great that your sister and bil are rallying round. Take care. xxx

stitch, I have just seen this.
You have done absolutely the right thing, and been incredibly brave.
Sending you lots of peaceful vibes.

Just seen this: Well done Stitch, every day is going to get a little better now - and he will get what he deserves.

I haven't read youo other thread(s) but wanted to send you some {{hugs}} , I know how hard it can be making this step x

Oh Stitch.... you too?? Email me, I think you've got my email address. The first steps are the worst, prepare to batten down the hatches, and seriously if you think he's going to come back in a fury, speak to the police they may be able to recommend solicitors in your area who will be able to help get a non-molestation order in place......

How do marriages end up so bad.......

Not before time, well done for gathering the strength needed. He has plumbed new depths this time.

Huge hugs to you.

how absolutly terrible for you stitch.

wanted to say well done to you, and to send you warm wishes for what must have been a very grim "festive" season for you.

i hope today finds you feeling positive and strong.

its funny, but it actually wasnt as grim a christmas as it would have been, had i not made the call. thats quite convoluted thinking i know. but, the fact that i had finally done something proactive, to sort out my stupid life, made me feel empowered. iyswim. completely shattered yes, but more like myself, than like a victim.
mumsnet has always given me support. i have in the past, been sat here, crying on the keyboard. and all you lovely mumsnterrs have been fantastic. i know soometimes some of you would get fed up of me continually going round in circles, but thank you for not giving up on me.
i keep coming back to this thread and reading everyones well wishes. its very important, and empowering.

i am actually not worried about him turning up on the doorstep. his solicitor would have explained to him why he musnt. and he will listen to the solicitor. also, the police have fitted an alarm.
i;m more concerned he is going to cancel the amex card i use for groceries. and not pay ds's tuition fees. etc. also, the car is very low on petrol that sort of thing. but, i am hopefully, working towards sorting that out.

just seen this. am very sorry that you have had such a rotten time for so long. but glad to hear that things will change now.
courage xx

stitch...good on you girl!

i hope you can keep hold of your feeling of power and run with it......

you are no longer a victim, you are a survivor!!

i've "given" this song to another mnetter before, but it seems so right for you....here, have it, its yours!

for stitch x

Hugs to you...go do a big shop today and fill up with petrol, or just take some cash out on the card (same pin as the one you use at the checkouts)

Hi,
Just wanted to say well done for being proactive. You have done the right thing. Stay strong and see it through. This time next year you will be sooo much happier.

I know.

Well done and good luck to you, Stitch.

Stitch

Thanks for reminding us of the importance of NOT giving up on someone who seems to be going round in circles. I'm so glad you feel better in yourself, even if the external cricumstances look bad.
