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.

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.
