Yes! That sounds like you had a nice day! Every post-abuse "I left" post I read is so inspiring. It's amazing to see how someone who was so trapped and oppressed can emerge healthy and be able to enjoy their life again! I'm so happy you are safe and moving on with your life!
Congratulations!

I love the 'I left' posts....good for you!!!!!! it feels good,doesn't it?

just remember though, that it (the good feeling) goes up and down. I didn't appreciate hearing that when I left, but then found that it was true, and was able to deal with that, knowing that it was normal..

good luck!!!!
