      Just wanted to share some positive news my final order is finally here after a long and painful time…
      Had to live with my emotionally abusive ex under same roof for most of the process and navigated all alone trying to do divorce diy not to trigger him, slowly getting him to see things as his choices, not me pushing… It took a lot of patience and resilience but I’m proof it can be done! I got so much pressure from fam and friends to just go legal and battle him but I knew it would further damage my mental health and kids environment so I followed my gut and now I’m out!
      Obviously still a bit unstable, trying to figure out how we’ll relate now, he’s not cooperative on coparenting and I’m still afraid of bringing new relationship in the open but these are follow on steps I feel much stronger to navigate.
      I soooo many times thought of giving up and like I couldn’t do it and the pain and difficulties were not worth it, but they so are!
      Hope this helps others find some encouragement, wish I could tell myself from when this started it would all be ok and I’d make it!
      Lots of love xx
