      Today. I’m happy. I’ve just bought my Christmas tree. This afternoon, I’ll decorate it. Tonight I’ll light the logburner and a few candles and snuggle with my pets.

      Simple pleasures, but this time last year was so awful, I coukd never have imagined being happy again.

      There’s a lot of tough times ahead, but I’ve started feeling comfortable and happy at home. That means so much to me.

      You can all do this, I promise you x

      Hi Landy,

      I can’t say how pleased I am to hear you say your happy..Just the thought of you saying about putting your Christmas tree up and your log fire and your pets makes me feel all cosy..
      There may be tough times ahead but you’ve felt an emotion that you probably haven’t felt for a very long time…
      I can’t wait to have that feeling..
      Sending you hugs x*x

      Thank you. Never thought I’d ever be happy again. Mostly, I’m not OK. But I going to be.

      Yes it’s good to be able to do the simple things. I was on my own for a few blissful days and dear god it was so so heavenly. I was able to wash the dishes, he stops me doing this. I was able to clean the kitchen properly, the bathroom. I could watch tv and sit in the living room and talk nonsense to my pets. I had the radio on every where I went. Even at the end of this sick relationship with the final divorce looming he still stops me doing these things and stops my access to our money. I am beginning to feel very very angry.very angry.

      I haven’t reached angry yet. It saddens me that I allowed someone to move into my home and take over to the point that I wasn’t allowed even to watch what I wanted on tv or have things out on display that I liked. I felt like an intruder in my own home.
