When you no longer have anxiety about going home
When you no longer check the bank account a million times for alcohol related purchases
When you no longer care what time you get home out of fear what he is doing when your not there
When you stop dreading all holidays and weekends. (Yes, I am actually looking forward to Easter this year)!!!
When you no longer fear looking under the bed for empty beer cans
When you no longer hide your prescriptions because he may slip some out of the bottle when you are not looking
This list could go on and on...truly....
