Long story, short.
When the man I loved, married someone else...
I was devastated and didn't really care what course my life took, but I knew I couldn't take it seeing them at assemblys etc, so I ended up moving away, marrying someone I barely knew who was a psychopath. The first time he hit me, we wern't even married a month. He made me believe I was the one that was crazy. I believed him. I lived with a plastic smile permanently etched to my face, praying fervently for armageddon... and paradise, just around the corner.
Going through a divorce and reading CofC, totally changed my life for... the better! Next, having a small trust fund, and using it as a down payment on a house, that I just moved into recently, has finally given me my balance back, along with a real smile. I love where I live. My shangra la. It has taken me many years to get here. I would like a superman in my life... Who knows? Just keep living. There are actually many pleasant surprises out there... But you have to be alive to embrace them.
