      Dear Ladies

      I just want to share the good news with you, he’s gone 🙂 It’s taken much longer than I expected but freedom day came yesterday.

      Though he shouldn’t haven’t taken anything he did (including the plug for the kitchen sink), but all I can replace over time.

      I wasn’t going to do anything last night apart from getting the locks changed, but I did move things about in the lounge that he used as I could still see him in my minds eye sitting in the corner watching me.

      My brother and wife pop in to see me with a gift of a paint roller as I have a lot to do. Its been years since I have had anyone round.

      But with out him here it doesn’t look as bad. Though it needs a good clean its not filthy, it must have been the negativity of the situation making it look so bad.

      I went to bed early and slept, (I didn’t even use my door brace)

      Love and thanks to you all, I don’t think I could have done it without you.

      Huge congratulations to you FS! 💖

      The road won’t always be easy but at least he’s now on the sidelines rather than blocking your path.

      I am so pleased for you! How exciting to be making your house yours again. And taking the plug from the sink? Unbelievably petty, although I guess it will remind you of what an irredeemable (insert favourite swearword here) he was. As an interim measure it is generally possible to use a milk bottle lid as a sink plug. They leak a bit, but that doesn’t matter much in a sink. Good luck with the paint and the rearranging!

      Falling Skys,

      Well done to you for surviving living with such toxicity until you could get him out of the house. Enjoy the peace and serenity. Enjoy doing what you want, when you want, wherever you want. You choose now. You have the Power and the Control now. Celebrate this weekend!

      Great you don’t have to look at that hostile face staring at you as he sat on his behind, giving orders and probably not doing much as they do.

      Peace, freedom…pure bliss.

      Well done for holding your ground. I know it was hard. Just take some time to breathe and look after your mental health. A couple weeks after my ex was arrested I was hit with PTSD. I think we are in survivor mode for so long, running on adrenaline. When they go our minds try to make sense of the abuse. Enjoy your freedom x

        HI She Ra

        I have been busy cleaning and getting quotes for work i can’t do. I have a little put by but not much. Yesterday i started filling holes and sanding down ready to paint a bedroom.

        All things i was made to feel useless about.

        So its a real road to self discovery.

      Hi CA

      It took me a few years to get him out. In the end i bought him out. Though at first he refused. So in the end i said that either he bought me out or i bought him out or i would take him to court.

      Hope that helps. Just stay strong and you will get there in the end.

      Lovely news!
      Enjoy getting splattered in paint as you freshen your home!
      Keep in touch on here and don’t worry if you feel more stressed and anxious as the initial excitement of the enormity of what you’ve achieved hits – it seems to happen quite often as KIP mentioned too. Be kind to yourself don’t overdo things and continue to sleep well x*x
