      He has finally said he will leave and has found a house to go to. I am still dithering wondering if it’s the right decision.  Still not allowing myself to believe it’s abuse.  Even though I’ve seen (number removed by Moderator) counsellors and have recently registered with a domestic abuse charity.  I still care about him, but just hate the way he makes me and the children feel so on edge all the time.  He has to go I see that but part of me is dreading him actually moving out.  Will I be lonely? How will I manage to move things like furniture if I need to.

      Hi Stuckinturmoil,

      Change and unknown can be really hard, even when we recognise it’s something that needs to happen. It’s still the ending of a relationship with someone you care about, it’s okay to have confused feelings and need time to process them. Accepting it’s abuse is hard and painful, I’m glad that you’ve had support and continue to reach out for what you need.

      Take care and keep posting,
      Lisa

      Hi there,

       

      I am glad he is leaving. All the practical things you can deal with like how to move.

       

      Please consider safety in all of this. Consult DV counselling on the best way to be safe in all of this for you and your children.
