There is nothing like taking that decision of getting away from an abusive relationship and sticking with that decision. It sure feels good to now be single.
I ask myself, why the b-jesus did I ever put up with that nonsense, and for soo very long? Was I ever an idiot.

Just woke up from a guilt free afternoon nap. Its the little things like that that make me wonder if I ever want another relationship as I can do what I want when I want. Eat what I want when I want. No longer walking on eggshells. No longer in a panic over saying the wrong thing.
Yes it is lonely at times but I would rake 1000 years of lonliness over 1 year with my exgf anyday.

Yes, it was rough at 1st, living in crappy rental house infested with spiders and mice,etc.
But once I felt comfortable with that, and then "re-grouped" and got my resources, energy, & game-plan all in order then everything naturally came together.
