[QUOTE="paperplate, post: 576573, member: 15831"] Thanks everyone. husband did call this morning, and thankfully it was just to say he 'gets it'. It's over, there's no going back. I'm just hoping he stays that way. I've been waiting for the other shoe to drop and I'm still have trouble lightening up. I have to force my shoulders to relax everyday at 2pm. That was what time he came home from work and I just knew he'd find something out of place or wrong. The kids on the other hand are doing great. My daughter accidently spilled her drink last night & for the first time in recorded history, she didn't apologize. She simply cleaned it up. Usually we would both be bracing for the string of insults. It's like we can all just breath! I need to change the locks, but in the meantime, I've been disabling the garage door via the electric box in the basement. I just need to make it VERY clear, he cannot come back. I'm looking forward to the future. It's kinda weird though. We went out the other night, just to Walgreens and I didn't have to explain where I was going, what I was buying or have to bring home a receipt. It was such a simple act that the rest of the world takes for granted, but it was amazing. I just have to keep on, and hopefully earn back some respect from my son. For years he's watched as I was treated like an incompetent idiot who had to beg for 1$. He never asked ME for anything, he'd say "Mom, can you ask dad for 1$?"
