At the age of (age removed by Moderator)-& (timeframe removed by Moderator) short of my (number removed by Moderator) wedding anniversary-i fled for my life,taking only my underwear and my dog. I had built so many walls I’d reached a point where i had,”shut down”; only just functioning on every level and no longer even speaking.Hating myself for the misery i felt and my inability to escape,i yearned to just cease by opening my front door and walking, never stopping,into infinity. But (number removed by Moderator) years on, (age removed by Moderator) years old;i’m happy and grateful proof that it’s NEVER too late. No matter how many times you try it’s OK,don’t feel it’s a failure. It’s not. It’s one step. Time after time it’s another step-you CAN. It’s been a steep hill to climb but-my god!-the view i see now is amazing!

Good for you! Thanks for sharing a positive outcome. May I ask if you had children with your abusive ex and how are they doing now, and how you feel about it if they have a relationship with your abuser? Do they feel with you for what you went through? Best wishes to you

Thank you,i appreciate your reply. My children were adults when i left but were and are fully aware of the situation without my having to explain. I can’t describe how much i owe to them for their love,encouragement & support. They do still see my abuser,as he is part of their family but they continue to dismiss all the lies & accusations about me as they see the truth for themselves. This makes a big difference in helping me to thrive and feel that i-finally-made the right decision.
