Sarah's GREAT News!
Friday, July 20, 2012 at 12:04PM I always love stories about babies and mamas, but this story of survival brought tears to my eyes. You go, Sarah!
"Good News for you, Barb.
"I guess it isn't hot off the press, but it's still good. I left my abusive ex. I am safe. I'm not being beaten or forced into nonconsensual encounters, intimidated, ruled by fear, told I'm ugly and worthless and unable to do anything well. Not anymore.
"And I remarried. We have a relationship dynamic that brings out the best in both of us, and we are able to communicate about anything and everything without being judged. I'm working on getting a clinical doctorate now, and am encouraged by my SO at every turn. We share responsibilities with the kids, pets, housework, garden. Here, there is respect, equality, and love. I am blessed.
"And it is good."
You are blessed, indeed, but you have the credit for your blessings. Embrace every one of them.
