The last six years of my life have llike living in hell. I met a man, or should I say monster. I had just gotten out of a 22 year relationship with my first husband. I was vurnable and the monster took me at that stage. He said all the right things...I was dumbstruck. I started a relationship with him and ovewr the next six years I was beat, verball and sexually abused, he isolated me from all MY family and friends...I was alone. Then 2 and ahlf months ago I had gotten to the point where I was done, and knew I had to leave or his next step was to kill me. I made a plan, some wonderful friends helped and I left. I left with nothing...I left everything. But I left with my life..the most importnat thing. Since I left I have reconnected with the friends that never forgot me, the family that always loved me and most important myself. He is gone now...the fear is still present, but that too will leave and fade away. The best thing is my grown children are slowly coming back to me...life can't get much better. The best day will be when I can hug my grandchildren and see them geow...but I will be patient because I know time heals everything and I never stopped loving them and they never stopped loving me. |
