I have been through a difficult time with deciding to leave a very unhealthy and sometimes abusive relationship....
I gathered all my courage, but didn't leave when I had the opportunity..
This has taught me a lot.
I re-made my decisions, and am letting my Mum and psychologist know that I'm going to leave this time. That'll keep me supported and accountable to myself. Sometimes subtle but powerful suffering is easy to ignore, until it nearly breaks one.
I feel clear again, and hope that helps me move forward this time.. I'll be leaving a beautiful home in the mountains, and I felt like I would lose myself if I left here, but I'm afraid I got it wrong. Here's to some good fortune coming my way as I navigate this. At least I've learnt that I don't need his permission to leave. I'm a lot less hesitant now, so that's good. It's been a quiet nightmare. Alice.

Morning @Alice10
Well done on probably making one of the hardest decisions in your life. Now for the practicalities, do you have somewhere safe to go once you leave, and do you have people to help with the actual move. Wishing you all the best in this new chapter in your life and the very best of luck........Asgard

Wishing you all the best on your next steps @Alice10, having your mum and psychologist involved sounds like it is exactly what you need. Moving forward is never easy but it sounds like you're more than ready, stay safe, you got this 💜
