Sweetie, first of all, I am so sorry. I cannot imagine how hard this is for you.
I think you did wonderfully. You set a clear boundary (one I think you absolutely needed to set) in a calm voice. You said exactly what you needed to say.
Now you have to be sure to continute to be strong and not let him cross it.
I dont have any experience dealing with the sorts of things you have been dealing with, but, the same stuff applies for you.
Be kind to yourself, take care of yourself, love yourself. Be there for your son and continue on this journey.
I know that you will be ok. I do. You are a wonderful, strong woman filled with love.
So, there will be days of tremendous pain, but, there will be days of peace, too. It is on these days that you will begin to see that you have begun to let your h go with love. It is on these days that you will see your strength and find your center. It is on these days that you will know that you will be ok, no matter what.
Your happiness matters, sweetie. You will begin to grow in ways you never thought possible.
So, rest, eat, pray. Fill your days. Find one thing that makes you happy and do it. Think about something you always wanted to try. Then one day at a time, you will be walking towards peace.
