An update on my new life

An update fo you oldtimers who helped me so much.
I went through hell literally, not figuratively.
Without family, support, finance or anything in a foreign country with a bent legal system.
Somehow with grinding hard work at my temp job and making jewelry and teaching courses, i managed to go home for Christmas. I got to see my daughter graduate from university in physcology. And be accepted to do her masters at another uni. I got to help my son settle in to his new position as chef after graduating chef school in november. I got to spend quality time with my kids again and to try to heal the loss they felt the 10 years i was with him.
Now im back here to sort out some money again and the house i part own. So i can return and look forward to getting older with my love ones.

In the interim the very slow police served him with the violence order i reported to them 1 year ago. He was home on a brief visit from USA to get his visa renewed and they served him with it.
So hes fuming, and we will have an ugly court case,but im ready. I cant afford a lawyer but ill ask for any help i can get, as he accuses me of lying about the abuse.
I let him have access to the house while i was away to get his stuff ( left key with neighbour) so he cant say i didnt allow him.
He is so useless he couldnt find anything if his.
Actually as i know if you gave him a flashlight in his two hands he cldnt find his own arsehole!
Im so proud i have never given in to his hoivering once. I never let him touch me from the moment i discovered a year ago he was a monster.
My health is back! while with him he made me sick for the first time in my life.

Anyway he has tried everything, including sueing me for defamation. Etc etc.
I know i will get through all this sooner or later and start life again .
Im so much happier. And after the help ive got on this forum i hace been abke to help and empathise with so many other women who are goibg through this hell.

What doesnt kill you makes you stronger!! Thanks girls and i look forward to your support as i rebuild.

Xxxxx
Thanks to Goldie and Lisa and so many others here i came through.

I will become a resource for women trapped in foreign countrues with Narcs.

Our manifesto Pls agree with your yes.

Just wanted to say that what I have learned us that without us women enabling these monsters they wouldnt get anywhere. Manifesto 1.We need to start standing together as women speaking out, collectively. We need to stop carrying the shame that belongs to them. These men play one woman against another because we make it easy for them to do so. 2.We need to return to our hearts , our strength our morals. 3 We need to stop competeing with other women over men. 4 We need to stop giving men a higher status than women. 5 We need to stop judging other women, so they feel less afraid of reporting abuse. 6 We need to bring up our sons to respect women, by our own example. 7 We need to stop calling other women whores or ugly because they were next in line with the Narc. 8 we need to bring up our daughters differently. They are not the slaves of men. They will not dress sexily at 10 or 14. They will not be afraid of boys labelling them, they will stand proud. 9. When we call ourselves a woman it is a name to be proud of to revere to comand respect. We need to behave accordingly. 10. I pledge to stop competeing with the women around me and start to support and hold on esteem my gender. Sign your yes below.

Beautiful empowering story FNL

Thank you for sharing your strength and hope with us and you are absolutely right. When we make it to the other side, we often have much to give to the others who are still in many cases suffering in silence. I am certain that you will be a blessing to many. Thank you for your gratitude. You are quite welcome. God bless Goldie
