      It’s been (detail removed by moderator) since I last spent a night with my ex, and (detail removed by moderator) since he has spoken to me. Even though I have moments where I miss him, this is the best decision I’ve ever made. I’m in therapy working through it all, as I know there’s a lot I’ve buried away, and I’m scared it’s all going to suddenly bubble to the surface and overwhelm me at some point.
      I moved the majority of my things out of the house (detail removed by moderator), but there are a few things I forgot, particularly something which is very sentimental to me. I don’t feel ready to get in touch yet.. but do you think it’s better to just get it over with or wait until I’m ready to see him again?
      On another note, I’m a little hurt that none of our friends have been in touch with me since. I know he will have been seeing them, and it worries me a little about what he’s been saying, and also upsets me that maybe they didn’t care about me as much as they did him.
      Just to finish up though, these are just two things I’m struggling with, overall I am so much happier and wish all you women the best who are unsure if you can take that step.. it will be so worth it when you begin to feel like yourself again!x*x

      i dont know if its possible at all but is there someone who could collect your things for you. otherwise perhaps discuss your concerns with your counseller & see what she thinks the best thing is to do here
      and sadly re friendships this is a time when you actually get to discover who really was a true friend – i think many women end up losing people they cared about & at a time when they needed them the most
      its whether some friends are feeling a bit awkward & unsure what to do or say right now
      but it sounds as if you are aware that an abusive partner can tell everyone many lies to ensure the truth of who they are isnt known, making out that they were the innocent party & the victim. its something many of us have had to deal with. and as much as you desperately want to put the record straight & let them know the truth it can unfortunately sometimes do more harm than good
      the best thing to hear is that you are doing so well after breaking free. you should be so very proud of yourself x
