abusive relationship after 23 years of marriage. It's
a miracle I'm still alive get out while you can!!
They would change so if you want to be happy you can
only change yourself and make a change. Life is too
short to be emotionally abused. I would rahter die
than go through that again. I really would rather die
than to go back because I would die a slow death
anyway so I prefer to make it quick or get out while I
can. I't s the hardest thing Iv'e ever done, but it
is worth the fight to live again. Let me know if I
can me pf any help. Trust me Ive been their and I'm
still being affected.
Love Susan
