      Im so sorry you have to sit and hide away because hes in a mood.

      I used to hide away from my ex, more so when he had lashed out at me so i know how your feeling. Do you have a tv you can watch for comfort? Is your little one ok? xx

      I used to hide too, so did our daughter and find excuses to be out as much as we could.
      Why did he not go to work? Does he have reasons to be spying on you, have you hinted you might be leaving? These men are really pathetic huffing and puffing when they can’t get their way!
      Enjoy snuggles with your little one and keep safe xx

      The anticipation of the explosion is horrible isn’t it. Just waiting for it to come.

      The good news is you know that he’s abusive and you know you’ve done enothing wrong and you are gaining strength to hopefully break free xx

      I used to hide. Ironing upstairs was preferable to squeezing myself in a room with his mammoth ego.

      I hope that you can find a way to being free x

      Thankyou ladies it feels less lonely thinki g somebody else knows whats happening. He didnt go to work because he basically didnt want to, hes a few cross words with people there the last few days so is sulking i excpect. Tbere is no reason for him to spy on me i tell him everywhere i go and he knows everyone i speak to as they are all his friends.

      I used to pretend to be asleep too. I’d pray that when he came to bed he would pass out drunk quickly. When he did I used to get up and go downstairs and sleep on the sofa. Sometimes he would be the one to go to bed first and I would stay downstairs. If he got up in the night and came downstairs I would pretend to be asleep but I would hear him making comments about me as he stumbled around the kitchen.I too used to bring my little one to bed with me, I felt ashamed to use her as a security blanket, but I knew it was the only way to protect myself against him. It’s no life to live, I wish I had gotten out sooner. Stay safe xx
