      I finally made contact with WA. I was crying on the phone and I think it was such a relief to hear a voice say- he abused you after I told some of my story. I didn’t mention the police but was given a contact number for my local area and I will forge through whatever they offer me. I appreciate I’m in a better position, I’m out, no kids, he hadn’t made contact since I sent him a letter outlining his abuse and told him to stay away. And though I’m away, do not underestimate the devastation and psychological trauma this is having on me or you.
      I hope I can’t find a way of of this suffering but he must be held accountable even if it goes no further than me reporting.
      I hope I get help I so desperately need now.

      Thanks to everyone who has carried me xx

      Hey, well done you! Like you, I’m out and have no children to worry about. The emotional trauma really can’t be underestimated. It’s time to start looking after you now and it sounds like you’ve made the first step. Welcome to the other side!!!

      Well done Teabag. Tiny steps are all we can take. It’s traumatic leaving but this pain will pass and leave you in control of your life. No one to bring you down. I recently left too. You feel unsure, panicky, vulnerable and sometimes doubt yourself. But at least you can do what you want to do without being abused as a consequence.
      Keep heading in the right direction, which is as far away as possible from the abuse.

        Thanks fudge cake.

        It’s weird, I’m not relieved from being away from his abuse because I’m still processing. I became the obident one, don’t fonthis it will annoy him, he he gets angry and pounds his fist on the chair, say nothing. It became normality and to some extent it still feels normal. He’s not contacted me, he doesn’t know where I am and because he wants to go back into (his profession removed by moderator) he won’t come near me. He’s scared I’ll go to the police I bet.
