Sharing Hope

Three years ago my life changed. What I didn’t realize at the time is that life is always changing. This change though was significant enough that it affected my health, both mental and physical. The person that I thought would always look out for me is the one that did the most damage.

 

Since then I have learned that I have a codependent personality that controls me, that the insecure woman inside me was really a strong woman covered in self-doubt, and that I could do something I never thought I would find the courage to do. I walked away from a 16-year marriage that was emotionally abusive, am in the middle of a domestic war to officially end my marriage to a narcissist, and am emotionally strong enough to not be the victim anymore. 

 

I hope that the stories of my journey, the one that I discovered goes back to my childhood, will give people in emotionally abusive relationships the courage to bring out the strong person inside them that loves them and wants to fight for them. That person is in there, I found mine and she has taught me a lot. Don’t give up trying to find yours. ~Hope
