It’s amazing how much different life looks now than when I was writing that FB post in the picture above. I sold my house two years ago now, i’m actually in the process of getting another one. While it’s unlikely to be as big as the WV house depicted above, it’s appropriately sized for me.
I know my life will never contain the person “Analie” who was my ex-wife. 14 years of consistent abuse and manipulation were brought to an end. It has been excised of several other people who were abusive and just generally unhelpful shitbags. Anyone who returns to my life must do so on my terms, not theirs.
It’s really hard to imagine my mindset of the past, trying to please addicted people and people with significant mental disorders. It’s enough to create a disorder in you, which it certainly did in me. Recovering from it has been my focus for years now. Things do get better every day.
