Wow @Sahara

That is some story - thanks for sharing it with us - and maybe it can help other people break from the past

It is really good to see you again - and I am glad you and your husband took a 5 week break in Europe - what a fantastic idea - I pray this gives you the impetus to continue with your growth - such hard work too

I really admire you getting out of your previous relationship that way - my own story is a bit different but the first time he assaulted me I had the police involved and the second time was years later and I threatened to have him charged if he did not leave that day - and he decided to leave - and how he cope financially was not my problem - he rang me at work and they were so concerned for me there they locked my car on the premises over night and paid for a taxi to take me home - I think I rang everyone I knew that night but woke up in the morning and got another taxi to work - and never looked back

But the story was not was easy as it looks on the screen here - there are a myriad of other stories attached to it - and there were children involved - so nothing is ever as it seems nor as easy or even as hard as it sounds

But great to have you back Sahara
