      (detail removed by moderator) and am trying to move on with my life. The untangling of our lives together is being drawn out and I can’t see when it will end, financial matters mostly. How long does this take and is there anything I can do to feel in control of the process? I’m struggling with anniversaries coming up, knowing that this is not over despite the amount of time passed.

      i dont know how much of this is down to your ex being difficult in any way its just my ex dragged things out for (detail removed by moderator), wanting to control my situation for as long as possible.  it wasnt until i had a solicitor involved who was experienced in domestic abuse that i was able to put a stop to this (detail removed by moderator)

      but i also know that requesting a lot of the information thats required during this process can take quite some time which can be frustrating.  and if this is whats happening in your situation then all you can do is try to be as patient as you can knowing that you have a goal, that you will get there & it will be over x

      Yes, it can be hard even when you have left, what happened, happened, and traumas are always in your mind. For me, I tried to feel more controlled by reading self help old and listening to music I love. When you control what you can, such as what you do, it helps you to gain the sense of control. Professionals and supportive ppl help too. Just dont give up and continue reaching out and do what you can. accept that you’re going to feel bad sometimes, and wait it pass and it will. Be patient and kind to yourself.
