      Thank you! The urge to call him was almost overwhelming at the weekend. Thankfully I had a realisation in time. If what it took to stop his abuse was me telling him I love him, that I have faith in him, that his children need him that we can a wonderful future then none of this would ever have happened.

      Those are the things I need to hear. I need to love me and have faith in me. My children need me and I can have a wonderful future. I am feeling stronger. Thanks again for listening!xx

      Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I have just seen yours Starryeyed. I am doing what I think is right staying away and thinking about my children. It just hurts so much it doesn’t feel right but I just need to believe that things will get better. I can’t feel like this forever.

      Hello again! I just wanted to say that the urge to get in touch with him is sometimes overwhelming. I haven’t but I have just sat in absolute tears wanting to call and ask why, how could you do this. I suspect that it s because it’s a pain that he caused and it feels like only he can take it away. Posting here makes more sense then calling him.

      Thank you for replying to me. I was worried I was being too self absorbed 🙂

      When I heard that he had to do a domestic violence course as part of his sentence I felt excited and hopeful that it might work and we could get back together. Is it true that they don’t change? It’s so painful to know he’s carrying on without me and the children, like we never existed. I believed him when he said that all he wanted was to be a good Dad.

      It’s like I’ve been deceived and discarded but part of me still wants him…
