Freedom in the end

I would have been married for 32 years in December 2007 but I always said that when my youngest was settled in her own home I would leave my husband. Everything fell into place, the ad for an apartment 90 miles away appeared in the local paper. One of my children had already agreed to take me on a day out so thats where we headed for.I paid the downpayment and as he was taking the car for a service the following Tuesday, thats when I left. It was in a hurry I might add had he returned I would have been dead meat, no kidding. After nearly 32 years of mental torture, restictions on my movements, I wasn't allowed out without him or any freedom or spare time of my own I had, had enough.I'm sorry for the way he found out, it can't have been nice walking into the house to find I had taken just a few items. My computer, the small music system, TV, etc. and left the most important of all any means to show who I was. But, now my constant headache has gone, I love to walk freely and watch whatever I want on the TV. Even the solitude is wonderful, no one nagging what am I doing, why do you want to do that and above all just to sit and do nothing. Thats my confession, three of the children are against me, two have helped me no end. I dare not tell them my address but we do keep in touch by mobile, what a wonderful invention that was. So here's to the next few years just being me.
