Just another statistic

Hello new friends,

After a relationship of 10 and a marriage of 8 years... I am becoming just another statistic. I have filed for divorce. I have reached a point where I realised that something was going to have to give - either my marriage or me. I chose the thing that was my main priority for what seems like an eternity and in the process saved myself.

I was married to an emotional abuser who cheated on my five times, almost never earned a steady income and in the end told me that he did all this because I was not good enough.

Well, guess what guys and girls, I am! I am worth much more that second, third of fourth place... but sometimes we all need to be reminded of that. Especially in the long night hours, the times when the children seem bound on driving me up the wall and the times when you look in the mirror and wonder who it is you are seeing...

That is the reason why I am here. Sharing makes a burden lighter and knowing that others share the same nightmares, makes them seem less daunting.

Here's to a mutually beneficial relationship with my fellow statistics![/

Hi Gloworm and welcome to wiki

Well done you

You are very brave by taking control of your life in the way that you have. Things will be hard, even though you are the one who has left the marriage you will still feel all the emmotions of grief. You have done the right thing for both yourself and your children.

Keep posting and use this site as a crutch to lean on, i have. Call into chat and say hello, you don't have to say anymore if you don't want to.

Look after yourself and your children, thats all thats important now.
