I did it!

Last night, I moved my stuff out, got my dog and my baby, and we're at a safe place. I'm meeting with my lawyer today to pay and do the paperwork to file for divorce.

My parents helped me, and I broke down several times and had a panic attack before we went to the house (he was there). But it went well, minimal drama, no police, and I actually got to sleep last night.


He had taken to telling me to get the F out, and waking me up at all hours to yell at me. Merry Christmas indeed. :p


Thank you. For all of your support and advice these last few months. SR has been a life saver.

I'm so looking forward to my new life!

You're going to have to get a new name now: Freebird!!!

Stay strong, expect doubt, but keep reminding yourself that you did the right and sane thing.

I'm so glad to know you and your baby are safe. I've thought of you often and was hoping you would find a way to just go on and get away from him sooner. You will be fine, and we will always be here to support you anytime you need us.

Congratulations on the start of a new and improved life for yourself, your child, and your dog.
