New Here And Finally Out of An Abusive Relationship !! Posted: 06-15-07 20:00pm
HI everyone,
I am new here to the forums. My name is
freetoBme, I am a single mom to a 7 month
old little boy. I separated from my
husband earlier this year and have come to
realize how abusive our relationship
really was. So now that I am out of the
abusive relationship I feel free to be
myself. That is how I got my user name.
I am looking forward to meeting and
chatting with you all!!

Welcome freetoBme:
Good on ya for getting out of the abusive
relationship.
I got out of my very abusive relationship
14 years ago, well 12 really coz I put up
with him abusing me for a further 2 years
till I met the man I am with today. (read
my sticky).
Even now I am still affected by that
relationship but it has however made me a
stronger person.
I hope you didn't suffer too much &
got out before any lasting affect took
hold. As you only recently started this
thread I am guessing that you are still
affected, however it is early days, you
got the world ahead of you.
Enjoy your son & someone special will
come along.
All the best & feel free to PM or post
on here, let us know how you are going!

Thanks dynamicdebz! I am doing ok
considering the circumstances. My son and
I are staying with my parents and they
support me 100%. I am in abuse
counselling and unfortunately in a really
messy custody battle. My husband (soon to
be ex) is still trying to abuse me but I
finally put a stop to that and the only
way he can contact me now is through my
lawyer. I will admit that it feels like I
am never going to meet Mr. Right and that
there is no one else out there for me. I
keep thinking that when and if I finally
do decide to date again that I will start
comparing those men to my husband.

You know freetoBme just carry on doing
what you are doing you seem to have your
head screwed on right.
Don't look for a new relationship it will
find you when the time is right. You have
a lot going on at the moment so maybe a
relationship would just get in the way.
You won't compare any one man to the old
one but you will be more aware, perhaps
too aware which isn't such a bad thing.
You want & deserve Mr Perfect after
what you've put up with and you know you
will find him coz he's gonna have to work
extra hard to win your affection.
But at least it saves all the time of
finding out months down the line that he's
no good!
Keep up the fighting, it will come to an
end soon and you have your family to
help.
Good luck.
