In Remembrance of 4 Years Ago
No one would ever know from that post that just 2 hours before, my life was changing drastically. At 10am that next morning, I was served with divorce papers.
Thank you for releasing me from feeling that I was never good enough, from being told monthly that you were being forced to be with me because your mother made you marry me so the family wouldn’t be shamed, from feeling that there was always someone better and that I was the one causing all the misery and the drama, amongst other things. I wouldn’t be where I am if it weren’t for you. The only thing I wish I could take back was the pain my children endured. But we’re all stronger thanks to you.

Wow. Intense. Sad but good at the same time I guess? Better to be out of something unhealthy than to stay and not be happy.
Exactly! I always told myself I’d never be one to divorce but it was a long time coming. 13 years of holding on for the kids and competing for my own husband’s affection is pretty exhausting stuff. Once it got to where we were fighting every day, and in front of the kids no less, I was done.
