    newbie

    HI there
    I am a bit in shock I am finlaly doing this. My cherubs aged 6 and nearly 3 are in bed and I have them back after 6 long nights. I separated from my partner of 10 years on the 27th Nov. It still seems so surreal but it is real! I took andIVO out and i never imagined it would be this way! I have been so scared and although now I feel free I still don't. I know I am better in myself....I hated the person I became and even more so the person he was and what effects it would have on the kids! Its such a long way to go and i would so value talking to others and hearing the experiences.

    Hi Sje,
    I know exactly how you feel. I finally moved out from the house I had with my partner on new years eve. It is difficult as I always say I never knew who I was coming home to. Sometimes he could be lovely and he was great at fixing things but then the next second he'd be yelling, throwing things, breaking things and drinking very heavily infront of my 2 year old.
    I kept saying I could wait for my freedom, to come home, feel safe and be happy but on the other side of things I get lonely.
    Hang in there
    We'll all be here with you
    Mel

    hi, I'm currently about to go through seperation. I was married for 8 years with 3 children (5, 2 and 6 months).

    why were your children with him for 6 nights? I couldn't do that. I just refuse to let him take them over night or even to his 'flat' or where ever he ends up (he hasn't moved out yet). this is the biggest worry for me.

    I just posted a new thread so you can read my story there.. but I would honestly love to meet up with other people in the same situation - long time married with young children etc..
