Back on topic!
A little over two years ago, I was still in a marriage with an abuser. (It took me half my life to figure out that it was what it was because he was the mental/emotional type of beater, rather than physical). I was tired, scared, hopeless, overweight, physically ill, completely lacking in self-confidence, clinically depressed, and borderline suicidal. I had begun to buy into his version of me and did not believe I could make it on my own, or that I even had a right to.
I am now single for two years and have lived completely on my own for the first time ever. I am self-supportive. I've lost weight and regained a higher level of physical activity. I've gone back to school (something that was always *impossible* in my marriage). I am happy, peaceful, and engaged in life. I have purpose. I look, act and feel younger, healthier and more alive than I did 10 years ago. I have conquered fears that I once believed would destroy me.
Thanks for starting this thread, ellie! I needed to remind myself how far I've come!
