Sweet, strong woman!!! You are so right, time for a divorce from a bond you never wanted nor deserved. You are far better than that. Be bound no more!!!
Celebrate your victory Jess, for you have run this race already and are won. Deep down inside you know this - you are strong, enough to offer up unconditional love to yourself and to others. You are born again, luminescent and dazzling enough for all who read your writing to see. We believe in you, you believe in you. You have won already and I cheer you to the winners podium, every step of the way. The God within goes with you and holds your heart in eternal hands. 🙏♥️🙏
Thank you Elliot! Yes, I am working on that for sure! Some days my recovery is two steps forward, three steps back—but I am determined to be free of all of that. I have made dramatic changes in the last year or so and my life is a lot different than it was! You are the best, and I am grateful for you and your thoughtful comments!❤️
I know only too well how much easier said than done such matters are, Jess. I truly feel for you. I feel your pain and it reduces me to tears every time. You're a beautiful soul, never forget. No platitudes can ever compare to what you've endured, and you deserve to love and be loved truly with whole heart. Sending love, light and prayers ♥️🕯️😇🙏🙏🙏
You are so incredibly strong. You survived without being heard and now you choose to express your voice with your miraculous ability to put pain into words we can hear.
Divorce is freedom; divorce is sanity; divorce is to break those bleak and despairing bonds of depravity. As they say in today's parlance, there is no downside to divorce in this case. The sooner, the better. You can do it, because you need to do it.
Yes. Yes. Yes. Extract abuse from love so you can be free once again. “A liberation must be consummated for the emancipation of what shouldn’t dwell within the other—and should be put asunder.”
Thanks Kimberly! For real! This is one of the hardest—knotted—smarmy bugger of a thing, I have to keep coming back to and working on! I think it’s gone—nope—it’s waving at me from the corner! Thanks for your thoughtful comment and for your continued support, I really appreciate you!❤️
