Hi, my only advice is that STBX is going into your past now and you need to
move on without fear of his intimidation.
You must slowly take control
of your (and kids) life and if that means learning something that you
haven't done before, then you must ask someone for help.
Obviously
this site has a wealth of experienced and qualified people to utilise, then
there's your kids, other family members and friends. You can also find many
shoulders here from wikipeeps and add them to your list of buddies on your
profile.
Small steps are needed to finish climbing the mountain.
Friday I decided to buy a laptop as STBX is a bit of a clever d**k when it
comes to technology. Saturday I started to set it up and had to resort to a
post here about wep keys. By Sunday I had loads of replies and yesterday I
found the courage to discuss the computer set up at
FMH and voila...he told me where to find the answer AND
I didn't have to tell him that I had bought a laptop. Its mine ALL mine.
For my future when I move out, I am looking forward to plumbing in the
washing machine, crazy who me? And I think I can remember how to change a
light bulb!!LOL
Good Luck and keep asking, people really don't mind,
in fact its a compliment for others to ask their advice! Supercali xx
