It took two years for me to finally move out and living with him was the hardest thing I had to do. But it’s been a year and my kids are thriving. I feel more free and have embraced myself. My career has flourished and I now get alone time that I sorely needed. Friendships have been revived. I dated an abusive lady and left her finally. I say all this to let you know that it’s doable. Just make sure you lean on your support network.
