What I have become
It's been a while since I posted...but something strange happened Tuesday night at a local pub. A friend of mine has seperated from her AH 3 months ago. We were talking about how things were going. She said she is so much happier now, living her own life, doing things for herself, not worrying about AH drinking and driving, etc. She knows my situation and struggles. We have both been married 10 years, etc.
I asked her what made her make the leap to get out. She said: "I didn't like the person I had become. I was so unhappy. I was a total bitch." I actually started crying (in public) when she said that. It hit home so much. Just wanted to share.
Now what am I going to do? I'm still working on that. But finally I understand what the real issue is: I had been thinking it was about not liking what *HE HAD* become. It's about not liking what **I HAVE** become!
