He threw the papers
i went back this morning to feed the dog and left. Outside on the patio, he had thrown the divorce papers down. They were unopened. I wish I could stay away longer. I have to go back tomorrow but for today, I’ll enjoy the sunshine. You all have been a great support for me. Thank you

Dazed......don't forget that you can seek a place to stay at a domestic shelter if staying in the home is untenable...you can call the hot line that I previously gave you....
You don't have to stay in the home if it is...or, becomes unsafe for you....
If the dog is at risk, I would suggest that you remove the dog, if you can...to a temporary foster situation (if you can't house the dog)….the domestic shelters can help with this kind of animal situation, also.....they have contacts and relationships with organizations and the humane society that you many not have....
Safety first....for you and animal....
Don't hesitate to ask for help when you need it....there are options available...

I set my boundaries and will rebuild my life. I know what my boundaries are and they will NOT be rammed anymore. I have found myself in many toxic relationships because the other person decided it would be. Always loosening my boundaries just to make the relationship easier for the other person, if I had any boundaries at all. I didn’t know how to protect myself, but I am becoming a boundary badass. Odaat. Thank you all. ❤️

I second what dandylion proposed, be aware and safe. Perhaps calling the DV hotline or your local DV today would be a good idea, just for a chat. Once you outline your situation they can let you know where to get help if you need it.

Actually I once wrote a post here about calling the DV hotline. I wasn't in immediate danger, my ex had already gone to bed for the night. I just needed to talk to someone "normal". It was a good experience for me, I was on the phone with them for about an hour. When I really did need to call DV for shelter, I was not nervous then because I knew they were there for me.

Amy, my work has an EAP that I called once for the same reason. It really helped me too.
