Two years ago, I was literary running away for walks to avoid fights with my husband. And these walks were one fragment of my detachment. And then, one day, I found the strength and desire to talk to people. And I was not embarrassed anymore, because I did not cause it and certainly cannot change it or cure it. But, AH and his addiction cannot control me.
