Leaving My Hubby

[Hashi]

Absolutely encouraging and supporting you. I admire your courage. Sending you all good wishes for what must be very difficult but the right thing to do.

So sorry to hear this jjh. :( On top of finding a new therapist and trying to deal with symptoms. He has wonderful timing I must say. I am reading between the lines and am assuming that there was emotional abuse before.

Good for you for leaving. It shows immense strength and courage. Take care and keep us updated.

Well done for taking the step to leave, very courageous and absolutely the right thing to do. I'm glad you have a therapist, lean on her that's what she's there for. As are we.

Keep safe, keep us posted.

jjh29 - I hope you and the kids are safe.

Take care, thinking of you.

Hi guys. Sorry I have been busy all day. Yes we are safe. We will be at a hotel for the weekend (which the kids love) and then with family on Monday. I'm just glad we got out while he was at work. I didn't want any confrontation. Yes he has been emotional abusive which is just as bad but I guess I was just used to it? I kinda ignored it all the time I guess, but lately I have been more in touch with myself so things have been really getting to me. Well it's gonna be okay now I'm not looking back, I'm just gonna turn my phone off and get my mind right. Thanks everyone.

Take Care jjh29.

You are doing a great job of looking after yourself and your kids.

Have you thought about a women's refuge? Or contacting the police to get a violence order?

It sounds like you know what you are doing so keep up the good work.

Turning the phone off sounds like a good idea.

Good luck!

Hopefully tomorrow you will be with family and feeling a little respite from what has been going on.

It is great you are taking your self and your children away from an abusive situation. This will make such a difference to your children in the long run. I grew up in a household of abuse. It was not fun.

 

[jjh29]

Thank you. It will be ok. Just gotta keep believing that.

Hey my picture is sideways!!! Lol. I just noticed that. I'm gonna have to fix that!

Stay strong, it is too easy to go back, and it doesn't get better if you do. I hate to speak from experience, but...

It sounds like you have things lined up well. Call a women's shelter when you are ready - they can direct you to many resources regarding legal stuff including names of lawyers etc. The more info you have, the easier it will be for you to not go back into that relationship. I remember my day of liberation, I told him I was no longer afraid of him. While shaking in my boots. When I had hung up, I realized I truly was no longer afraid. And I got on with life. That was almost 30 years ago.

Sounds like you have found your crack in the door. Go through, and never, ever look back.
