When and how did it get better when you left an abusive relationship?

It all gets better once you stop caring what the abuser thinks and says. Of course they are gonna use every way possible make you feel guilty and bad. Life got better for us when I picked which battle I wanted to fight, the battle of depression in a shitty relationship that I never win or the battle of being an independent single mum

This is overwhelming and agonizing for you to say the least! 🤗 Waking up in the same exact place 10 years from now will arrive faster then we all realize. This is a GIANT decision. Wishing you all the love and positive energy as you make your choice! 💕 You are stronger then you think mama!! 💕

You deserve so much more and your children deserve to see you happy and healthy. I left an emotionally and financially abusive relationship because I knew I would not survive if I stayed. It was hard and it was embarrassing because I had protected his reputation and hid my pain for so long that people thought I was crazy for leaving a good man. No man is worth your mental and physical wellbeing. Especially when you have children that are both looking up to and depending on you. Make a plan to leave that prioritizes you and everything will fall into place. You may not have everything on the other side but it is always enough and always better when you are happy.

I second what Brittany said. Life’s too short to sacrifice yourself for this man who is abusive or toxic, even if you want to keep the family together only you will suffer in the end. I know it’s hard, I’m a single mum to be and for a good reason to protect my mental well-being. You can do this. Stay strong for your kids and remember you’re setting an example for what’s deemed as a normal relationship for your children. Imagine they grow up and think this what love is.
