Rediscovering Myself Through Solitude
In January of 2023, I finally felt like I was starting to get better. After years of struggling, the efforts I was making were starting to work and everything was making a bit more sense. Every day didn't feel like a Monday anymore.

What I learned from being abused
I always said that I would never be in the position to be in an abusive relationship. That I would never put up with it. Somehow, I found myself in the exact position that I swore I would never get into. Looking back, I can see the red flags that I decided to ignore before we moved into together. All the things that I should have paid attention to, or that I shouldn't have let go. I trusted him. He did a good job at making me think that we were in the same mindset. So I believed that he wanted the same things that I wanted. Yes, I should have noticed all the things, but it's easy to say that now. Once I moved there, I did the number one thing that a woman should never do. I let myself be isolated, and it happened so quickly. So when things started to go down hill, I thought that I didn't have any options to get out. I was trying to make my family work. Trying to give my daughter the family that she deserved. The number one thing that I forgot is that it is better for a child to come from a broken home than an unhappy one. Because he was my daughter's father, I tolerated things that I would never tolerate. Such as him drinking every day, or smoking, when I hate both of those things. When the abuse started, I was still so shocked. The first time he hit me was when he woke me up in the middle of the night. I was shocked because I was sleeping, and because I never thought that he would do that. Regardless of any weaknesses that we had in our relationship, or that he had, I always thought that I was safe with him. Of course, until I wasn't.

Beyond Burntout
The Breaking Point I can't help but reflect on the whirlwind of events that led me to this moment. The past few months and years have been a blur—a haze of exhaustion, stress, and overwhelming emotions. I've been running on autopilot for far too long, pushing myself beyond my limits, all while neglecting the warning signs that my body and mind were desperately trying to send me.

What If
Robert loved starting his day fishing with her. She'd wake him up every weekend the same way. "Are you ready daddy?" with big bright eyes. He'd smile and scratch his head and would say "Of course angel". After hurriedly getting dressed they would rush down their Nashville street to their favorite fishing hole. You'd wonder which was the adult and which was the kid form the excitement that was displayed. Never was about the fish really, as it was mostly about the conversations. Conversations about colors... plants...and all sorts of what ifs. What ifs that can only come form a five year old child.
