I've got a place, uhaul & a court order
| Sat, 01-20-2007 - 1:03am |
I am leaving! I rented a nice place (a culdesac with neighbor kids, and a mile from are our home) at first they wouldn't rent to me becuase they didn't think a court order was enough of a stable income. It has a backyard, a good school district and I think we will be happy there. I might even be able to take our family dog (a great dane - 135lbs). This is a huge plumet in my childrens standard of living, we own a 4900sq ft home w/pool, gated community and they go to private school - but the verbal abuse / emotional abuse will finally be over. My boys are so excited about leaving, they don't care that there room is about the size of my closet, they are just so happy that the fighting will be over. This weekend is it - I just have to wait until Monday. Wish me luck - he wants about 90% of the furniture, basically he is getting almost everything he wants. I just want him to stop saying crap to the boys. I am just grateful to have a roof over our head, and a little hope.

Wow... that sounds so exciting.... good luck--let us know how the transition goes.
Hey... you'll have a lot more time on your hands with a smaller place to keep up with, and YES--you will all be happier without the stress of the abuse.

O,
First of all, good for you! I moved out on the 20th. I was having second thoughts, and lot of guilt all last week. Saturday night i was laying in bed crying. I left a huge beautiful home, in a gated community, on a golf course, unbelievable amenities. Its just stuff. I have slept all night for the past two nights. (in bed by 11 and not up until 7:00am) no more looking at the clock at 2am, 3 am, 4am, etc.......
This was the best decision i have ever made. And it will be yours too. I am proud of you for making a decision that will change your life and that of your childrens for the better.
Keep us posted.

Was I scared? Heck yeah, but my kids and I are better than ever, closer and I am so flipping happy!! It's been 14 months now and it was the best decision I ever made!!
Good for you ... "flipping happy" ... now *that* is happy! Can you tell me more of your story and how old your kids are and how they are doing?
I would love to be modestly happy after this nightmare (which is just beginning).
Please share your story!

I want to add that I was also a SAHM with the big, beautiful house and all to go with it, husband with the 6-figure salary, etc.

The two children we had are a DD age 24 and a DS age 28..........they just had an hour long talk the other day about how they dad used me for a punching bag (emotional and verbal) ever since they could remember.
They do understand. Just try to encourage your sons to learn to respect and love women.
Hang in there it will be all right.
