I am out of the abusive marriage, and I think I managed to wreck his intentions to do away with me.
My eldest is now safely tucked away from him. He’s managed to find the strength to ignore his dad’s manipulations and keeps his dad at arm’s length. What finally did it was when he went away with him and it got physical. He’s safe now.
My youngest is still too young emotionally to comprehend the manipulation thing totally, but I know I need to spend this time now to heal and gather my strength, as I am sure some time in the future my ex will act in a way that proves it reminds my son how awful his dad is, and he will need me to fall back on.
My sons and I will find strength in standing together, caring for each other and standing up against his cruelty. I will carry on trying to teach my kids the right path, and we will be like an little army of goodness, standing strong against his evil in the future. Together, we can bat off any negative forces.💛
