      Another strange day where I started out questioning myself and ended up knowing that it is right to make plans to leave.

      No issues yesterday or today, in fact he left a cut rose on the handle to my car door! Lovely.  Well it was until I arrived back from a mini food shop with a pie he’d asked me not to buy again as not enough meat in it but I’d forgotten….so cue at least 20 mins of shouting, him telling  our son to get out the room and shouting/swearing about how useless I am. I’ve wasted money and apparently I’m going to help make us get cancer because I can’t be arsed to chop and cook the veg myself (we already have broccoli on 5/7 days plus other veg!!)

      Interestingly, abuse trait truly reveals itself tonight…I needed screen wash for my car – he buys it.  I say I will put it in, he tells me no, don’t bother yourself I’ll do it.  Then tonight, when foodgate goes off…I hear him shouting about all my apparent deficits and how I “can’t even put water in my car and how pathetic is that? Classic abuser based upon Lundy’s book.   Oh and this afternoon he asks our older son if I did in fact clean younger sons high chair – apparently I’m a liar so he has to cross check what I say with a (detail removed by moderator) (well, this is the man who told our (detail removed by moderator) that when daddy’s away he’s the boss of the house w*f?!?)

      To top it all off my son tells me that when daddy shouts he wants to hide so he doesn’t get shouted at.  And then the big man himself (who tells me he didn’t want baby2) is very pleased that he got a big wave from toddler.

      I am looking forward to getting out (understatement).

      I can totally relate to these days as I have the same! Currently I am in the nice zone where I feel like I am going mad questioning myself about what has happened previously. I am so glad you still have that knowing feeling that it is right to make plans to leave and I hope your plans go well and you are out of this soon. Me being in the nice zone (it won’t last) I am continuing on my plans to leave. No idea when it will happen but it will. Good luck to you and stay strong!
