It was so hard for me to go through with this also, even though I knew it was the best thing to do. My H was pretty much living with another woman, yet not filing, and I just couldn't take it anymore. Even so, as Cat said, it's uncharted territory, and it's always scary to do something we've never done before.
But doing scary things is also how we grow and get stronger.
Lisa, he has beat you down in more ways than physically, so that makes it even harder to get up on your feet and do this. I think you don't believe you can make it on your own - but you can. I feel stronger now than I did during almost my entire M; it's taken time to get here, but it's been so worth it.
You can do this, Lisa. Let's hear you ROAR!!
Lots of love, Nicola
PS Happy Easter!
