For the first time, I understand myself during my 26 years of marriage. I understand him, the marriage all of it, and I have been divorced 25 years!! Thank you!

This is what happened to me. I trusted her, and I thought she wanted to be a good person, so if I just tried hard enough, one day she'd love me back, she'd stop being so mean, she'd stop hitting me. Even my journal wasn't safe. When I finally left, she texted me pictures she had taken of it behind my back and twisted it all to make me look like I was the abuser.

I'm so sorry you had to go through that, Jared. It's so devastating to realize that the one you trusted is actually untrustworthy. I pray for your healing and that you thrive now!

Thank you. I am getting there, though I am dealing with the annulment petition process, and don't think that I will feel totally at peace until that's over and I know that either I am free to pursue a healthy relationship or that I will be alone for the rest of my life, and I'll have to make peace with that.
