Cleaning Guns
Cleaning Guns On one end, I had a nice life. I lived in a brand new townhome in a nice area. I had nice clothes, nice cars, I had my dog that we raised since he was a puppy, we went out to nice dinners, and got to do a lot of nice things. We went to New York, Florida, Arizona, stayed in nice hotels and resorts, etc. Egor had a brand new motorcycle. We road to different places along the beach with his cousin and his wife. I mean we had a pretty good life.

I'm Stuck
A few years into my first marriage, I realized the gravity of the mistake I made. I do not recommend marrying anyone that you do not have chemistry with or love. Duh. It is a terrible, gut-wrenching existence. I tried over and over to make it work. Everything looked pretty good on paper, but I had an empty sick feeling in my stomach all the time. I kept asking myself, is this the way you will spend the rest of your life? It’s one thing to accommodate, make sacrifices for, listen to, and change yourself for someone you love but it’s completely different when it’s for someone you don’t love.

I Never Loved Him
When I met my first husband, I was in a very vulnerable position. Most of my family had ostracized me for reasons I have mentioned in my previous post. I had no friends and no family support. I was renting a small room, with the only money coming in, from working for my dad helping him do handyman stuff. I had no concept of taking care of myself. I didn’t know what that was or what it meant. It was like being dropped off on an island where I didn’t speak the language and wasn’t given any tools to survive.

How Did I Get Here?
At 56 years of age, divorced three times, two of them from the same person, yes I married my abusive-second husband twice, no savings, no formal education, unemployed, with a very dismal outlook on my future, the only fitting question is, how the hell did I get here?
