Good choice. Did the guy dump her or is she still with him? |

Frightened.
Sad that I wouldn’t have the intact family with Mom and Dad that I wanted for my kids, but relieved that I wouldn’t be recreating the toxic intact family my DH grew up with. Creeped out and afraid that I was tied by kids to a man who was cheating on me with prostitutes and a wide swathe of other women and who could hide his dishonesty so well and easily. Angry that therapists kept making excuses and letting him slide without any consideration for me - without any acknowledgement or care that my situation was unsafe, abusive and manipulative. Sure. I was so so so sure that kicking him out and ending the relationship was the 100% right thing to fo even though it still left me with a result I didn’t want. The day after, I felt like an enormous weight had lifted and like I could literally see the sun again. |
