I took a big risk when I decided to end my relationship with my A,I wasn't ready financially but I believed if I had stayed it wouldn't matter anyway,I would be in such bad shape emotionally I don't know if I could have endured much longer.My son came over the other day and offered help with my Christmas,we spent the day together shopping and eating out,it was wonderful.God makes a way when we can't,I believe.
I can't believe the things I put up with,He was a powerful man and he towered over me like a big tree,he used to get so angry with me when he yelled food would fly out of his mouth and his face would be all twisted in a rage.
It took a long time to 'adjust" but my life is so amazingly wonderful now and I look back and realize that all the grief I went though taught me how to live better. I am so happy and I value myself and my life without the A so very much! I'm happy for you and hope that you will look back and be happy, peaceful and love yourself first!
