Free at Last! Free at Last!
Tomorrow, February 4th, marks one of the best days in my life...a re-birth, in a way. It marks the 4th anniversary of my divorce.
It was a LONG road getting there. Full of anti-depressants, mental illness, dead lawyers, threatend lives, fear of discovery, bogus lawsuits, and more. Everything that could go wrong, did, and I am just thankful that I finally got away...alive. (while sitting in the waiting room of my Dr's office several months back, I read an article on how to tell if your partner will one day turn violent. Basically, my ex-husband met every single sign, and I truly feel very lucky that he did not kill me. My thoughts definately turn to the days when he would get so mad at me while we were driving somewhere, and he would start screaming at me, driving close to 100 miles an hour while punching the stearing wheel.)
And now, I am amazed at my life now, and I realize how lucky I am.
It took a lot of counseling and a lot of courage for me to finally leave that old life behind, and I am so thankful that I did. God gave me an incredible gift, a second chance at love and life, and I do not take it for granted for one second.
I still have some residual issues, but I'm getting there. It's hard building yourself back up from nothing, but I'm almost there.
And I am thankful to my friends, my family, and especially my husband for walking along side me on this journey, and for picking me back up when I've fallen down.
