I have escaped - Free like a butterfly

The abuser has moved out now for 10 months, he continues to come around and do his violence. I just do not have to wake up to the every day controlling, anger, verbal abuse, physical abuse, being scared everyday, it is quite wonderful.
I am still numb, not sure what to do after being married for 29 years of so.
I just live my life one day at a time, work, enjoy my family, friends, I have very few scary stories to tell them anymore since he is gone.
Just the odd one about the control freak, still trying to be the boss, still being a bully. Since there is a child involved I will always have to deal with the Bully once in awhile.
I have been taking care of me for a change, domestic abuse groups, councelling, exercising, friends, family.

When he lived here I was always running for something he thought he wanted or needed, the King sat on the couch and I ran and ran after I got home from work there was never no help or no respect from the King. He would never ask me if I was tired? if he could help out a bit, just gave more orders, more mean words.
It is so nice to wake up in the morning and not have to listen to that any more.
I can see my life only getting better every day. I do not have to live with someone that I have to walk around on EGGSHELLS all the time, never knowing what he is going to flip out about next.
I read somewhere "The decision to separate or divorce can often be a decision to say "Yes to life" In the past I have put my life on hold hoping things would get better, I know now I made the best decision of my life.
Thank God or someone for that.
Marie
