Who's having the last laugh now?

I think this forum has really helped me! Since I started writing up my story on here about the piece of pond life I endured for three years, it feels like I am finally bored of him, like I have really started to get this idiot off my chest!

I know I still have big trust issues and the I still have thoughts that I'm meant to behave a certain way or say a certain thing because of how he programmed me but I am more aware that these are unhealthy thought patterns and I can now revel in my freedom again!

It's taken me 1 year and 5 months to get to this stage.

In that time I have started a new job, moved to a beautiful little house, made new friends, dropped two dress sizes and am starting to return to the girl I once knew three years ago before my life was turned upside down.

I have decided to keep writing about my experiences and keep supporting and educating others about Ns and emotional abuse. In the UK, this subject is not really dealt with properly and there is a lack of good information or support.

You know, the ex N once said to me, "It's only when a person has lost everything that they realise what they had. You're heading that way love."

My ex is now living in a house with two children who aren't his, is having to work in a lower paid job and deal with his new three month old child screaming at night and travel at weekends to pick up his other child. That doesn't leave much time for him to live in his fantasy world does it? I do worry about his new partner who must, by now, be starting to realise that something isn't right but I think she'll be okay as she looks pretty strong and feisty.

So I think we know who's having the last laugh...and it isn't Mr Puffed Up, Know it All, Manic Collector, Addicted Downloader, One Chest Hair, Pasty Legs Drama Queen!
