      (timeframe removed by Moderator) I learned that I was offered a place on a part-time course in craft/(specific craft removed by Moderator). I applied (number removed by Moderator) years ago and then it was only offered full time. At that time an advisor I spoke to said hang on in there because there are moves to offer this course part time. So I have waited (number removed by Moderator) years and (timeframe removed by Moderator) it came to fruition.

      I looked out of the kitchen window last night and saw in a clear open night sky the New Moon and there was Venus close by too. Got my hand held mono telescope and looked outside the open bathroom window at Venus and the Moon. Both so beautiful. So some lovely surprises yesterday. I think how behind the scenes there are positive things happening and if one can wait safely for changes they come. (I don’t mean simply be passive and accept what is thrown one’s way but to take some necessary initial steps in actioning and thinking and then keep positive that truth/justice/goodness will present itself.)

      In my gut and heart I know this course is the right pathway for me. I am paying for my fees. I am going to complete the (number removed by Moderator) year part time (type of course removed by Moderator) and return to (job removed by Moderator) part time. I have the necessary (job removed by Moderator) qualifications.

      I thought I would be running a small business with my husband and all would be well. We discussed the plan and I helped set it up (number removed by Moderator) years ago. About (number removed by Moderator) months ago he told me he now owns everything and he no longer wanted my input. Said I knew nothing about finance, investments and how I wasted his time and all future business meetings were cancelled. All of this is a big lie. I am not stupid and am aware of my legal entitlements. So I have stepped back and he runs everything and I just sign paperwork that I agree with. I get e-copies of all documents so I know what is happening. If it crashes or there are difficulties in the future that could be a welcomed thing because it would mean downsizing and that means many things would change and I would welcome that. I am no longer frightened about not having enough money I think the financial abuse forced me to learn about finance and this I have done. I think this was a planned approach and he thought I might buckle under the rejection. I have not because over the months and years I have taken action to learn about domestic abuse and have the necessary therapy to help me heal.

      Now I have a new pathway. I am happy. I do not care about him. I do not love him. I am biding my time. I am fit and well. I will continue to take small steps and do what I think is right.
