is feeling Bad
I am 53, a teacher in adult education. I work two jobs and am fiercely independent - I have two grown up kids - one of whom has returned to live with me. I have very recently left an abusive partner (of 9 years)and struggling with differentiating between the reality and the fantasy!

Hi phoebe, welcome and well done for getting out
Congrats on leaving him! That was very brave of you and very noble for your daughters well-being. It may feel like a downward spiral but it's probably just an adjustment phase and once you learn what it's like to live and I mean truly LIVE with no concerns of Mr.Horrible then you'll see the improvment! Codo's! (sp? haha)
Firstly I left him a few months ago.. this is important for me to say because It is the massive whole in my life that has made me sign up. The desperately trying to focus on the reality (him being abusive and never knowing if Dr Jeckel or Mr Hyde would come home). The fantasy almost of the absolutely wonderful relationship we shared when things were good for us and typically from what I have read - the fabulous times became less and less. I now feel empty and am struggling each day.
