Hi Everyone
Just wanted to fill you in on the developments over the past few months.
Nothing improved with SD42 in fact she carried on with her demands and rants with DH.
He said it would be better if I vacated the house when she came to visit... so the first time I did this I went out and
waited for hm to text me when it was all clear. The second and final time she turned up unannounced, he told me to make myself scarce as she was coming in the door... I went out the back door across to my neighbours... Her car left... I went back home to find a note that they had gone to lunch. When he came back from their lunch to tell me that she hated me, I was all done.
I then set about my plan to leave him... found myself a house and within 3 weeks had moved. This may seem like a knee jerk reaction but there had been lots of other issues with him, so it was the straw that broke the camel's back for me.

Anyway, I have been settled in my little house for the past 3months and love the peace and tranquility. Don't miss any of her antics. She has spoken to her father twice... both times asking him for something. She has carried on lying to him and it is now dawning on him that he has allowed her to destroy his happiness. I have kept out of it...told him it is no longer my problem. I am spending my time trying to get myself well again, and have a new specialist who has given me proper meds
that have helped enormously.

I miss him everyday, he misses me... there has not been an angry word between us since I left!! We do not talk about her!! I am not sure we will ever find our way back to one another. We start our first couples counselling next week(something that he refused to do when we were together) and we will have to take it back to the very beginning. We have told no-one about this as he wants it to be about us and no one else, as he says "It's our life". Hopefully we will both gain the emotional strength to find a way forward together.

Thank you for reading this and hope and happiness to you all x

Good luck and my advice is to keep your own home and independence. Carry on staying out of any issues with sd and not talking to or about her - DH has created the monster, so let him deal with IT.
