      As many of you will know I’ve been practicing LOA (stands for law of attraction) again recently. I’ve been visualising myself packing my case, walking downstairs, closing the door behind me and putting the key through the letter box. I’ve only recently started visualising talking to my local WA support worker and in that conversation she was offering me a key to a wee flat. I get THAT key really soon , there’s no pressure to move in, but I’ll have a place to go to when he next says if you’re not happy there’s the door. I have a place to move my clothes and personal things into. Other stuff I can leave at my dad’s until I get offered a council place. I just have to try and be what he’s used to, not act differently. I don’t have to involve solicitors straight away only when I’m ready. Oh I feel so sick, nerves I know but….. My mantra for the now is “don’t think, just do it”. I know if I think too much I’ll think myself out of doing anything. But I woke up this morning after having had anither talk, and I realised I was feeling so down, resigning myself to not really going. Yet recently I’ve felt lighter, peaceful, smiling spontaneously fir no reason. I’m not giving that up. No matter what he says to make me feel guilty and sorry fir putting him through this. He’s a human being too, and as such he needs to come off this merry go round of abuse too.
      Feeling scared but know I’m doing this for ME. Thank you all for your support online and privately, it’s not over yet, I’ll still need you all, as you do me and this forum.
      Love and solidarity to you all
      IWMB 💞

      Hi IWMB,

      Just wanted to send you lots of positive and encouraging thoughts your way. You’ve always been such a positive influence even in my short time here on this forum and your messages have always had such good advice. Just wanted to thank you for that and say I’m thinking of you, too. Your positive spirit deserves all the very best this world has to offer – you all do.

      Hi IWMB, I am so pleased that you have now got that option of freedom..I know exactly what you mean..It’s hard to act the same when you know you’ve got that plan..But also the point where your frightened you’ll change your mind..I think we’ve all got to that point or will at some time..
      It’s times where you think we’ll maybe… but you’ve got the chance of a new happier life..There will be some hurdles to jump, but like you said were all in it together..You’ve said some very wise words to me, as others have..
      But my heart jumps for joy knowing you have the option to be able to go and be safe..
      Keep safe and hugs..

      Yep. Just take that leap of faith. Don’t think, you’ve spent years and years thinking round and round. Your life has been spent trying to keep him happy. It takes up so much of you. Once you’re free, all that time is yours to spend on you.

      Hi

      Just to add to the posts.. you have always given such strong, helpful and motivational advice to me and others, I just pray that you can use your strength to break free yourself.

      I recall all too well that crucial period where you know you are going and yet you think you might change your mind… it was the hardest part for me. I really suffered. But you have been putting up with his treatment for too long and you are so, so close. Listen to your gut.

      Sending you all best wishes and strength x*x

      Thank you all so much for your replies, I’ve been afraid to read them in case they started me crying, but I’ve not, though I’ve had a wobbly bottom lip😏. Take care of yourselves, my next LOA visualisation is to see me being given the key to this wee flat. Baby steps, one day I’ll be posting in the after forum.😊
      Much love and deepest thanks
      IWMB 💕💕

      It’s natural to have wobbles along the way. You’re doing brilliantly and I can visualise you free and smiling in your new flat. Relaxed, and popping in here now and again to dispense your wise advice and support to those that are on the verge of leaving themselves.
