So grateful..he's engaged a lawyer
Hi everyone
Those that know my story a bit will know I'm trying to separate from my RAH and it's been hell living in the house with him, but finally I've gotten a break and I'm so grateful to my HP.
He was served with notice of court proceedings this week and after intial bravado and threats and then the emotional blackmail, he finally enagaged a lawyer who obviously told him to back off bigtimeas there was a safety order mentioned, and he was warned not to contact my elderly parents.
Since Wednesday he's been quiet, almost civil, but I'm still staying in my room when he's in the house.
Also I've found a room I can rent for only 27 euro a night at weekends with a lovely Irish Canadian woman and her two dogs, as I was wearing out my welcome at my sister's.
I'm so so grateful for all this, I hope this is the turning point.
Thank you all so much for your support

Sophia, I'm so glad to hear that. Your AH is a monster - I'm glad someone finally put a muzzle on that foul mouth of his. It will help you to get through what you need to get through.
As for your new room to rent -- how wonderful!!! It will be like a mini-vacation with your sweet dog every weekend, without the stressors of worrying about your sister's feelings.
I rented a room in someone's house for several months -- it had a fireplace, wood floors, bright windows. Even though it wasn't exactly "quiet" (she had dogs too) it was the most peaceful place for my soul that I could imagine.
Thanks for letting us know this good news!

Thanks, everyone! I'm here in my new retreat and it's great. Lovely house , lovely person who owns it and two lovely dogs...and I can use my laptop on her wireless broadband.
I've just been out for a burger and fries all by myself and sat in peace and freedom listening to the music. Now I can go to bed feeling safe and free.
I'm so grateful for this day, whatever the future holds, I know it will have morw days like this

I had the best day today! I just had to tell you all 
I wandered in Dublin city centre, treated myself to some gorgeous new clothes, enjoyed the street entertainers, sat in the sun in the park and watched kids feedings the ducks and swans...played with the dogs and chatted to the woman who rents my room, talked to my friend on the phone, had a nap, went out by myself for a meal..and now my new landlady has asked me would I like to go out to breakfast with her in the morning!
So many unlooked-for blessings - I can hardly believe it.
I put this in my HP's hands and boy, has he come up trumps!!!

Life is for living, I'm so glad you're starting to live yours. Enjoy it, that's what it's there for as far as I can gather
