      Its my (detail removed by moderator) night alone since I left (detail removed by moderator) . I was supposed to get the keys to my new place but the landlord took ages processing it so I’ve ended up in a hotel for the night.

      I think i’ve gone through every single emotion today, my head is banging and my brain has probably turned to mush right now but i did it, i put myself first.

      I watched I Am Nicola (probably not a good idea but i was curious) and that was my relationship down to a T, with added rage and temper tantrums. Even at the end when she was frantically packing up and leaving.

      Today has been extremely difficult but it has made me realise that I have an incredible support network around me and I dont think i could’ve done it without them. Also, all of yoi who take the time to reply to my posts with yoir words of encouragement kept me from having a guilt-induced breakdown.

      The most surprising thing for me was his grandmas reaction. She just wants to know I am safe and happy. I think deep down his family know that he needs some support.

      I have not once thought that i’ve made the wrong decision or that I would take him back. This is my time now and i’m going to keep posting and take it one day at a time.
