      Why, when you have decided to leave and are just waiting do the days feel like years? It’s like they know and calm the nastiness. It won’t last I’m just waiting for it.

      I hear you. I haven’t made the decision to definitely leave for good yet but rather than engage in arguments with my children around, I will not stay in the house and have decided to walk out every time and have done once. We stayed in a hotel overnight – he doesn’t know where we went. Now it seems like he will push a little but hold back from letting it get to the point I have to walk out so it feels like I’m trapped.

      It’s almost like being on one of those extendable dog leads!

      Agreed, the days feel so much longer don’t they. I’m seeing all degrees of his behaviour from overly nice, to vile to full on lies currently as I’m getting myself out. They truly know how to manipulate and read us. x

        I haven’t managed to say it yet but I’ve decided in my head! The days just go on and on don’t they and yes the behaviours continue the mind games continue I don’t know where they get the energy from to keep doing it
        My daughter is having a few days away soon and wanted this app so I can’t keep an eye on her to make sure she is safe she only brings it up in front of him yeah because I want him knowing my every move 🙄 grrrrrrr
