Well done for putting yourself and your son first and getting out of there! I'm glad you are enjoying the peace and quiet, it's worth so much. I'm packing to leave STBXABF and boy do I know what you mean about wishing the right thing didn't hurt so much
But I'm trying to have faith that this short term pain of being away from ABF is worth being free of that long term pain of being with ABF, that in the long run it will seems like such a small price to pay for happiness. That is my hope anyway! (((hugs)))
