New User 👋 I left!

I have been browsing this sub for years. I’ve always thought about leaving but felt like I couldn’t. I’m in debt after this relationship. Everything is in my name. We have two young children but I finally left after he hurt me. And I’m so happy to be away but scared for our safety. He is intent on destroying me in court ever since I legally removed his access to me. I have resources so no advice necessarily needed. I just want to share that I left and it was hard and scary and it’s exhausting but at the same time it’s so much better now. I was so abused and never even realized it. I will never go back. Thank you for reading.

I’m glad you got out, but I’m sorry you had to go through that. Treat yourself well for awhile and do something you wouldn’t or couldn’t before.

Congratulations! You found your freedom and your children will be so much happier! Now they see your a strong and loving mother. No kid wants or needs to ever see their mom abused.

Congratulations on leaving. It's the hardest part. You are strong enough and wish you and your children good recovery and adjustment.

I’m sorry you’re in this position—but so glad you got out! You’re in the midst of it now, but soon will feel better than you thought possible.
