Good morning. I am new to writing but have been a lurker for many months now. First off, let me thank all of you who post on this board as you have empowered me to leave my abusive husband of nine years.

I told him yesterday that it was over and this time I am not backing down. I have contacted a lawyer, paid the retainer fee, and am in the process of filling out the necessary paperwork.

I was really fearfull last night when he came home. I figured it could go one of two ways, either he would be a complete jerk or he would beg for me to change my mind. He chose the begging part. I almost think that it would have been easier if he had been a jerk.

Anyhow, I just wanted to write to remind myself that I am doing the right thing and that the pain and guilt won't last forever.

Take care and thanks to you all,
Jenny C.
