shiny50's Journal, 09 May 2021

Mothers Day seven years ago I finally hit rock bottom. Losing a career and 20 years in an abusive relationship finally took their toll. I was drinking heavily from the moment I woke up. I could no longer keep going and was planning to kill myself. My two young children are the only reason I did not follow through with my plan. Instead of suicide on that Mothers Day seven years ago, I drove to the nearest ER for help. I got sober and ended that abusive relationship. Today I am happy and healthy and finally feel worthy of my precious children. It has not always been easy, but I have persevered. Happy Mothers Day to all the Mothers out there. And remember, no matter your current situation, you ARE worthy of love and peace.

Btaynow I am sorry to hear that. When I left, I went "no contact". Meaning I did not have coversation with or take calls or return texts from my abuser. I also began seeing a therapist weekly for about a year to work on myself. Again, I am so sorry you are going through that and I am praying for strength and peace for you.
