    It's fabulous what you've achieved DD - and you've handled the ex admirably. He no longer has control over you so he's behaving like a petulant child, and he clearly doesn't like the fact that you can get on with life yourself. Good on you for dealing with it so well - you should have shut the door on his foot while you were at it!   image

    More power to your elbow and your whisk. I think we all knew you could do it and you've surpassed our expectations through sheer grit and determination. Having Charlie there to help (and he's clearly enjoying it too) will make it even better. I think your assistant Tsitsi will be a huge help to you and it's such a lovely story. What a great person you are image

    What a great feeling it must be to shut the door on his domineering, bullying self. image

     Well done you.

     My ex told everyone he wasn't moving far because I wouldn't be able to manage without him.   Well actually, I've done quite well.  You will do as well I am sure.

    DD I hope you don't mind but I have been following your "journey" and felt I had to  say how proud I am of you (& Charlie !). I have had my fingers crossed that things worked out and am so pleased that they have. I know it's not easy and that there may be bumps in the road to get over,but I have no doubt that you can do it. Best wishes to you bothimage

    DD - sleep.  Let the ideas buzz and settle in your subconscious and they'll sort themselves out into must be done now, can be done soon, can wait till I have time in the quieter season order of prioritising.

    Well done with ex OH too.  He'll be peeved you've done so well, disbelieving that you can carry on and cross as hell that he can't interfere, over-ride and undermine.   Just keep him in his place and carry on regardless.  

    Go DD.

    I totally agree with previous comments. 

    He'll be incandescent with rage that you've ( you and Charlie ) done it all without him and what a job you've done too. 

    Warmest Hosta Hugs to you. x

    Oh DD I'm sorry that silly little man can't realise how worthless he is, how by leaving him you have achieved such greatness in a tiny amount of time! Keep your head up and the community will show him how stupid he is.

    I love the ideas of private parties!

    Why was he even there?

    Get rid and stay rid.

    Good luck with your onward journey WITHOUT HIM! You're doing a fabulous job and he'll do everything in his power to destroy it. Trust me.

    Amazing progress DD and your plans for the future sound very exciting.

    The ex will get the message eventually and start looking for someone else to try and control and in the meantime it's obvious to us all that you are well able to deal with him. Up and at 'em image
