New here. Just got the courage to take me and my 3 daughter's away from an abusive relationship. Been with him for 5 long years, and the only good thing to come out of it was my daughter's. I'd finally had enough of being a punching bag in every sense of the word. And I was tired of my daughter's watching it. I finally filed charges against him and going to file for full custody on Monday. I'm super proud of myself, because I couldn't have done this while in active addiction. I've been clean for close to 500 days and every day I surprise myself with what I have done and what I am accomplishing.

You're here and making it happen. We're rooting for you! Keep moving in the right direction!!
I’m really proud of you for being sober for length and I’m proud of you for getting away from the bad relationship listen growing up around alcoholics and drugs and two parents that would beat each other daily it ruins you and your future relationships and you become a alcoholic to so i beg of you to change the cycle and get the kids into some kind of counseling and you’re self i did and 6 years and counting sober and I treat women with respect and am not blaming everything for my using I’m a alcoholic and drug addiction my fault owning it is a big step
Good for you Angel. By getting out you showed your daughters what they should do. Not just stay and take it.

Hey, Angel. I had tears in my eyes as I read your story. You have no idea how proud I am of you. You are courageous and strong. You are creating a great example for your daughters. You left an abusive relationship, got sober, and are fighting for your daughters safety.
Thank you for not giving up. I'm glad you made it out alive. Thanks for sharing hope with us.
