WAY TO GO!!!! Stay strong through this. I'm serious, don't relent, don't give in! You can do this. Stay focused on the end goal which is first to get yourself out of an abusive situation and second to improve your life!

Personally speaking, I'm very proud of you to hear this! :-)

I agree with Okie. I am sooooooooo proud of you for taking this positive step and moving forward.

Stay strong!

That's great Bonnie! You deserve so much better than what you have with him. Stay strong and keep us posted.

Grats on getting out of an abusive relationship. Just one thing, take some time to focus on you, your happiness and what you want out of life. When the time comes, you will find your better half.

Good for you! Stay strong because you deserve so much more. Hugs

My prayers are certainly with you!!!!

Proud of you.. Stay strong..I know you can do it. We are all here for you.

One step at a time and keep moving forward. Cover your ears if he wants you to stay. Remember how he has hurt your heart. No matter what he says, he won't change for the better even if he says he will.

When will you get paid?

Be very careful!! I am so glad to hear that you are leaving! I left a very abusive relationship. The end can be a very dangerous time. Keep a bag packed with important information, spare keys, money, phone numbers, medicine and a change of clothes. If you can give the bag to a friend because you might have to leave in a hurry. Also always keep your phone charged and near you.

Praying for your safety. xx

I pray for strength for you !

I will write more later , but have to get to work now. :(

I sincerly hope for your sake you can stick with your decision! No one should be abused ! Get your self away form it and give you time to clear your mind and figure out what kept you in that situation.

The next step will be to annilize what got you there in the first place and what attracts you to abusers. You are not entire blame free of the sitution as ther eis something in your personal choice of men that ladded you in this situation. The goal now should be to correct that fault and move forward looking for a good partner to be with. :)

I wish you the best of luck. :)

Be safe, Bonnie! You're amazing and you'll get through this. Very proud of the steps you're taking!

Congrats Bonnie! ...try not to let him onto your plan until its time to go. Have your cousin there with you while you pack, just in case. I would try to do it while he's out of the house, and eithet just leave, or wait for him to come back, and with your cousin there and the car already loaded, explain to him that you no longer want to be in a relationship with him, and ask him to respect your privacy and distance (not contact you). Ignore any contact he tries to make with you after you leave, as it will only hurt more, and tempt you to chamge your mind.

Good luck! And keep us posted!

Best news I have read in a while, stay dilligent and persevere.
