This is what I told myself over and over invisigoth.
I am only hurting myself. Who cares? I dont.
I was silent, completely silent.
I had no abusive problems either, but i was just a body taking up space.
If you are not there emotionally you are not doing the
whole job of being a spouse or a mother or whatever it is.
Wonderful news on your ten days invisigoth!
