Thank you for updating us. The difference in you now from when you started this thread just over a month ago is huge. In your first post you spoke of feeling scared, anxious and petrified. Such was the knock on effect to your confidence caused by the situation you were in, that you apologised over and over. Now you are coming across as a happy, self assured woman who is adjusting well to your new life. It takes a lot of courage and strength of character to start all over again by yourself. I am sure this thread will be of much help and an inspiration to other people who find themselves in a similar situation. Well done you :T

You think so? Most people I've spoken to say the same thing. And that's in just 3 weeks!!! You see, I don't see it as me having courage or strength, I just did it. I'm always like that, people always say I have this amazing strength and I seriously don't know what they're on about because to me I'm just being my usual self. I do hope this does help at least one person. If anyone wants to talk to me about it or anything I'm here for them via Pm or whatever. I'm always happy to help anyone that truly needs it!!! Thanks for your kind words, they mean so very much!

I do think so yes, absolutely. You have gone from being in a relationship where you were controlled and manipulated, with your entire life revolving around someone else's needs and wants, to being on your own and standing on your own two feet. Not only have you respected yourself enough to strive for and achieve this for yourself, but you are coping and making big strides forward towards a much happier future. I believe it is not what happens to you that determines how far you will go in life. It is how you handle what happens to you. You are very justified to feel really proud of yourself.

Hi Ladyelegance

Well done and congratulations on starting your new life. You'll soon get the hang of it all and it's great to hear you are settling in and becoming happier.

You weren't being silly at all and you HAVE been brave.

I'm moving this weekend out of my ex's house we have shared for last year since we split up. I'm feeling apprehensive about living on my own/dealing with everything on my own/new neighbours/blah blah and I have lived on my own in the past and I know I like it really. It's just collywobbles about a big change. So for you it must have been much more difficult.
