    • About Me

      I am a young 52 working in the medical insurance field. I have one daughter and 2 terrific grandchildren. I love the outdoors, camping, fishing, gardening and all sorts of hobbies and crafts. I am trying to work up the nerve to take my life back. Married 5 years to an emotional and mental abuser - sometimes physical. I want to be happy again and free to live my own life not his! I am leaving him as soon as I can find a place. I can't do this anymore!!! I found a place and let the countdown begin!!! 17 days to freedom!!!!! August 1st I will be freeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

    • Close Breakups & Divorce

      Update: Well it's been nearly 2 years since I moved back home. And some things haven't changed, but some have. I don't walk on eggshells anymore. I know I can make it on my own now. I don't need him like I used to. I'm just not sure that marriage is the best thing for us anymore.

      Treatments

      Forgiveness Somewhat Helpful
      I forgave him for all the hurt that he caused me over the years but I can never forget.
      Leave Working / Worked
      Left him for 4 months. Alone time did us both good!
      Love Somewhat Helpful
      I did go home after 4 months so there must be some still there.
      Pets Working / Worked
      My Shadow and my Nudge got me through the worst of times.
      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      Communication is the key. If you can get on the same level it helps!
    • Close Smoking Addiction & Recovery

      I know I need to stop smoking. It's very hard after doing it for over 30 years. I have tried just about everything.

    • Open Physical & Emotional Abuse

      I am married to a narcissistic abuser. Although he hasn’t been physical in over 2 years he is still verbally, mentally and emotionally abusive.

      Treatments

      Leave Considering
      I left him two years ago for 6 months. Within 6 mo. after my return things were right back where they were before I left. I am a weak person and afraid to stand up for myself where he is concerned.
