    Mel, when my sister finally split from her husband, 3 months later she said it was like she'd been brainwashed looking back. So many things she wasn't allowed to do or say. It takes a while to come back into yourself but in a couple of weeks when you look back you won't believe the difference. Good luck!

    SIL sorted me some clothes out last week. 
    My mate where I am staying having known me for about 18 years knows that hair faffing perks me up so he paid and took me. 
    I am being cosseted. 
    Have meetings set up next week for work. 
    The level of support and care I'm getting keeps freaking me out 
    The longer I'm out the more I see clearly how toxic it was.

    Phrases that are being repeated to me are
    I am beautiful 
    I am strong
    I am brave 
    Feels like I have just woke up following a horrible nightmare
