    Your mum & dad would not offer if they did not want to
    They would still expect you to have a life.
    Sooner the better for you to be out of that toxic environment:)

  • Just read through your diary. I hope the estate agents have somewhere available for you to rent. If your OH did find a flat himself, will you be able to stay where you are or is that a case of all talk and no action from him. Been in a similar situation myself...

  • Fingers crossed for the house.

    Honestly, words fail me. The sooner you get out of this situation the better.
    Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.
  • Hi, 4853Emma I have read your diary so far and it saddens me to think of the way you are living . Before you leap though please make sure you can afford your rent payments , I would hate to think you were making things worse .
    Do you own your house with husband or rent ? Just thinking of if you sold would you have any equity to start again.
    I will assume you are on the south side of the big town, referral to Alderley Edge , he has expensive taste your husband.

    Posting here will help you get through , good luck with the move if you go ahead.
    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.

  • I hope you manage to get out in the month , what a plonker the husband is, I think you are well rid. Sorry if that sounds harsh .
    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.
