I was a lurker back then but have followed you story. I am glad you are doing so well. Congratulations on the progress you have made and on your beautiful new life.
My guess is he had told his new friend that you made it all up. I'm sure she thinks he's innocent. Poor woman.

You've gone through so much. I'm really happy to hear about your progress - you are sounding so much more positive now than you did before, and I'm very glad to see that.
I hope you continue to heal and find more enjoyment in life. Enjoy that new grandchild!

I remember your story although I was just a lurker at the time. It sounds like you have come a long way and you should be proud of that. Congratulations on the new grandson, I am a fairly new grandma and it's a love I've never known . You have so much to look forward to.

I am on the Board of Directors for a non-profit agency which supports survivors of domestic abuse and sexual assault. I am all too aware of the many women out there (and possibly here on 2 Peas), who are in a similar situation. I know your story will give others hope. Thank you for sharing. On those difficult days, please do reach out to us here on the board, sometimes a quick post can do wonders. I hope today is a GREAT day! ; )

Sounds like you have gone through a lot of crap in the past couple years. I am glad that things are going good for you now... I believe that the therapy you went through will stay with you for life. I know going through therapy really helped me...
I am happy that you started enjoying your crafts that you used to enjoy.

I have followed your posts all along-I remember being so horrified at what he put you thru when you asked for the separation. I am so glad you continue to update us. Sounds like all good things to live in each day, I will continue to keep you in my good thoughts and prayers. If we could wrap our pea arms around you and hold you up we would have many times. Glad to read you are standing strong on your own. You should feel so proud of how far you have come.

I don't mean this for now, but in time, maybe you want to write a book about survival. There are lots of women out "there" who need to know that they can get out of bad relationships, and survive. It's just an idea for the future and something to think about. I am happy you are able to live your life happily ever after. It's not easy to start over and pick up the pieces, but you are a success story! You made it.
I hope you slept well last night and have a great day today! If it's cold outside bundle up. If it's warm outside, enjoy the warmth! Know that we are all thinking about you and wishing the best! xoxoxox

wow, what you have gone through is just so horrifying! I am sorry that you had to go through it, but I am thankful that you are doing so well!!
I really hope that any time those bad thoughts and feelings creep in, that you will use your tools to remind yourself that you are deserving of every happiness and that you have overcome so much and can face anything.
congratulations on the new grandbaby!!

I remember exactly where I was when I read your first horrifying posts on what your ex did to you. I am so happy to read your update that things are moving in the right direction for you. The fact that your children all support you now is huge. I would imagine, any of them not being there for you and buying your ex's story was almost as hurtful as what he did to you. I am thrilled that they have all come to see the truth now and support you fully.
You are a very strong woman and a great example to others who are in the position you were in. If you can make it out after what was done to you, they can too. I'm sure you have given strength to more women than you realize.
I know the ex's sentence doesn't seem long enough, but at the rate you are getting stronger, by the time he gets out of prison, I think you will be in a very good place. His getting out and trying to rebuild a life isn't going to be of interest to you at all. He won't be able to threaten you or even occupy your mind for more than mere minutes at a time. You will be much too busy enjoying your own full life.
Remember, he may be out of prison, but what he has done is going to follow him the rest of his life. He lost so much more than a few years of time. And going forward, he will learn that he can try to lie his way out of what he did, but the truth always comes out. He will find difficulty finding and keeping a good job, a decent woman (remember, anyone can find someone damaged enough to be attracted to them, but I highly doubt that he will be satisfied with someone like that) and any type of honest relationship with his children. You are the winner here.
Please continue to keep us updated. I'm looking forward to hearing all about this new grand baby too. I am so very proud of you and how far you have come!

So glad to hear that you are doing well. My heart broke for you when I read about the nightmare you found yourself in and it's nice to see that you have survived and become stronger because of it.
Can't wait to see pictures of the new grandbaby!

with all the sad stuff people post around here, it is so good to hear someone who has made it to the other side with a better outcome and a brighter life. I remember reading your story and I was shocked that someone could hurt another human being like that. I am glad to know that you had the strength to get help and have worked hard to rebuild your life. you are such an inspiration. you are definitely a "feel good" story for this pea board and for the holidays! all the best to you. stay safe and be happy! you definitely deserve it.
