This message is to anyone feeling stuck in an abusive, miserable or unhappy relationship.
During the Jubilee weekend, my husband flew into an unprovoked rage, I felt frightened for my own safety. His rage, was the final straw for me after suffering years of emotional abuse, so I finally left my husband of 20 years. I’m 67. It was the hardest yet best decision I’ve ever made.
I just wanted to say that if you’re desperately unhappy, like I was but worried about the consequences of leaving, please don’t be. You deserve to feel joyous, free & happy.
Since I left he’s continually trying to tempt me back with promises that he’s changed, he hasn’t.
He says he can’t live without me, he’ll have to.
He says I’m his soulmate, I know I’m not.
He’s now getting therapy, but it’s too late.
Lying here in bed on my own, is so peaceful & overwhelmingly liberating; this is my new chapter.
If you’re partner is abusive, or if you’re relationship leaves you feeling frightened, anxious, sad, miserable & lonely, please think about leaving this person & start your own new chapter too. It really is worth it.
