On the other side

[leeshwa]

Hi Everyone,

I can’t believe i’m back here after so long. Its been (detail removed by moderator) since I left.
Writing this, and even being back on this site is making me so emotional.

So long story short, I left him. Finally.
I was sick of the emotional abuse amongst numerous other issues and I honestly couldn’t take it any more.
I waited until he had gone away from work, packed as much of my things as I could take, loaded up my car. And I left.
I really feel like my life changed over night. Now don’t get me wrong, it was hard, and I was scared. I spent the first few months being terrified to be completely honest. I was paranoid he would show up, and I felt like I was being watched (something he conditioned me to believe), I didn’t go out, except to work and to go to the shops only if I absolutely had to.
But slowly, things started to change. He contacted me less and less then it finally stopped.
I started going out more, seeing friends and spending time with my family. I joined the gym and have now lost nearly 2 stone! I’m getting my finances in order and am gradually paying off my debt.
Overall, I’m so much happier and starting to feel like me again. Never quite the same but the new me I guess.

This forum helped me massively through times that were really dark and I never though I was strong enough to get through it and come out of the other side.
This message goes to all you beautiful people who are still stuck and scared like I was, I hope you find the strength to leave and begin to live the life you truly deserve.
It’s tougher than I could have ever imagined but my life has now changed for the best.

Thank you all again.
Lots of love, (detail removed by moderator) x x x

This is so inspirational for me to read! I’m currently no contact with my ex And I am suffering with extreme anxiety. We have a child together and I’m pregnant so the struggle is real right now. I have a 3rd party for our child to see him so that’s helping that I don’t have to see him.
I’m at the pining stage where I miss him intensely.

Reading your story is very comforting to know that we can get through this. Thank you x
