Thank you for the kind words. I just hope someone else out there can read this and see that, even if it’s not what they WANT, it is ok. That it is an option on the table, and that it is survivable. I thought it would die without him. I thought life couldn’t possibly be good again. And some days are harder than others. But here it is: survival. We are resilient. We can create change. I spent so long (and still fall into this habit) trying to control HIM. But when I ended up taking control of ME, my whole life changed for the better.
