War Declaration!!

I have been mentally, verbally and emotionally controlled by a man with so much insecurities that he doesn't even know what he's doing is wrong. I didn't even realize that what he did was wrong untill someone knocked the flaps from my eyes. I started looking up stories on ep from abused woman and it was like a bucket of icewater being thrown right into my face. Long story short, I faced my fears stood up to it and him, took my child and left, praying that he won't shoot me or my child in the back like he promised he would do. God was with me that night. He continued to torment me with manupilation, threats, guiltrips etc all of the old tactics, this time I didn't fall for it. Yes, I felt bad and sad for no other reason that being stupid and a coward for 10 years and staying with him, lying to myself by telling myself that I love him and believing every bulldust thing he has ever told me. A few days ago he still continued, he sent me rude suggestive texts. I was mortified, thought that I would never get out of his clutches, I felt lost, I could barely keep my head up out of the water.
The next day he phoned me at work. I ignored the calls. I don't know what happened, how or why but something just snapped inside of me. I answered the call....
I was as polite as I could be while telling him in a very firm and confident voice that he had no right anymore to send me message, texts or call if it wasn't about our child. I am no longer bound to him. I am no longer is slave and his own personal little toy with which he can do or say anything he wants to. I have had enough of this for 10 years and it stops NOW!! I told him that I understand the break-up is hard for him too, but I am trying to build a new life for myself and he is not allowing that. We have a beautiful child that has suffered too much in this. I told him that if he is not going to start to respect my boundaries I will get a restraining order against him, (God only knows how much evidence and grounds I have to do this) and that he will never see his child again.

I was shaking like a leaf after this but you know what? It felt GOOD!! I have taken a baby step forward for me and for my son. I know there is still a long way to go before we will be healed completely, but I believe God will see us through and I will never admit defeat, I will win this for me and my child. I will fight with everything I have in me to see to it that he grows up to be a man who respects a woman in the way they deserve and God intended and to be a man everyone could look up to. This is my war cry against my own mind, emotions and feelings.

I WILL NEVER SURRENDER TO YOU DARKNESS, BRINGER OF EVIL AND DESTRUCTION!!
YOU MAY WIN A BATTLE, BUT YOU WILL NOT WIN THE WAR, THIS I CAN GUARANTEE!!!
IF YOU STRIKE, I MAY STAMMER BACK BUT, I WILL STRIKE YOU BACK THREE FOLD!!
MY SOUL WILL NOT DIE FROM THIS, I REFUSE!!!
