I'm so glad that some of you have found success.
For me, I had gotten my hopes up over one email from the XABF, and thought there was a chance of reconciliation. However that one email was soon followed by ever increasing abusive emails and proved that he hasn't changed at all.
So it's over. Done. No chance of getting back together. Not now, not in 6 months time, or 1 year or ever.
Thank goodness I never married him or had children with him. I am in awe of the strength of those who strike out as a single parent to escape the A partner/spouse. You guys are magnificent, strong, courageous, wonderful parents and doing the right thing.
So my success is that I escaped. I can recover from his years of emotional abuse. I can find someone else if that is my destiny. If not, I'd rather be alone than put up with his abuse and alcoholism for one second longer. I am free and safe.
