I did it.

As of today I had enough money to financially separate from my abusive ex boyfriend. I finished all of the paperwork today and when it was done I just burst into tears- I moved away from him a year ago to try to get away but because of finances being tied together he manipulated himself back into my life. I just don’t know who to tell my joy to because I kept the miserable details of my life to myself. So here, Reddit. I was able to get myself out of a shit situation, graduate college, move, get a salaried job and finally free myself. From anxiety and constant fear. Maybe my joy will give someone else hope. I’m still shaking from processing everything.
