About Me
I left a 20-year marriage on July 5. Took the boys shoe shopping and didn't come back for three days. He'd been telling me to get the f--- out, reminding me how worthless and unattractive I am. So, I took my sorry ass elsewhere. Now he sees that I'm perfect & beautiful. And, smart enough to stay away from him.

Hey, I'm so sorry about what your STBX is doing. And I'm sorry for your child's pain. I'm thinking of you and your children and know that you will get through this and that he'll get through this with his super mom.

Wish you the Best.
Love, Mil

Close Physical & Emotional Abuse
It started in the smallest of ways and grew so slowly I didn't notice the cancer of abuse until after the kids were born. Then, I was too tired with toddlers to really see it. Now that they're 10 & 12, I can see clearly now ... and want the rain to be gone!
Treatments
- Art Working / Worked
- I LOVE making art -- lampwork beads, jewelry, crochet, anything. It gives me personal power.
- Forgiveness Somewhat Helpful
- Forgiveness with boundaries. Forgiving myself for things that aren't my fault. Forgiveness prevents buildup of time-consuming emotional toxins.
- Leave Somewhat Helpful
- I walk away when he gets bad. I try to do something fun. It's a contract made in therapy. Leaving for real -- a goal.
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- Works for me. Not for our marriage. It makes him more dangerous.
- Running Working / Worked
- Two 1/2 Marathons so far. Signed up for the next. This is big for me because I didn't start running seriously until I was 43. Did the first 1/2 on my 44th birthday.
- Talking Somewhat Helpful
- NOT TO HIM. Yes to my support network and therapist. I want to stop venting to friends and take real action.
