Upwards - Needing support, tough times ahead

[Upwards]

It's amazing the sense of peace I feel when not I'm contact with my H, I still feel hurt, sad & a little anxious but I also feel in control of my life and in control of my emotions.

It's so sad that the man I've spent the past 12yrs with has become so toxic that I feel the need to cut him from my life but I have to protect myself (& in turn our kids) and so he's left me with no choice - he's acting out in any way possible to mask his pain & guilt, he's not dragging me down with him.

I've got lots of GAL planned this week - Today I'm taking the kids out with my Mum. This week also going to my support group, meeting a friend for lunch, out with MIL, clothes shopping, girls night out, lots of "me time" and seeing my IC.

Today I am grateful for:
* My wonderful children.
* A warm & safe home,
* Supportive family & friends.
* Feeling stable (ish!).
* My strength!
