In a vast universe that seems overwhelmingly indifferent to humanity's existence, many individuals find themselves grappling with the question of their own purpose.

It's not uncommon for the trauma experienced by victims of intimate partner violence to spill harmfully onto other relationships in the victim's life. Abusers use increasingly manipulative and violent tactics to isolate victims, often while putting on a wildly different public persona to fool others in their lives.
Veronica WrenPublished 6 months ago in PsycheBaby, You’re a Firework
My ex secretly hated fireworks. In the weeks leading up to the Fourth of July, we’d hear them sporadically throughout the neighborhood despite their illegality within city limits. Verbally, he defended them with all the patriotic chest-puffing you’d expect from a veteran-turned-cop, saying he’d fought for people’s right to shoot them off or whatever. He’d even accuse those who admitted to being sensitive to those jarring sounds, many of them veterans like himself, of being “soft”.

I was sitting in the waiting room. In came a little toddler. Her face was round as a soft full moon. Eyes as innocent and bright as a newborn star. Short pudgy legs (why and how could they be so cute).

‘I need a mental health day.’ I’ve said it. I’ve heard it. Sometimes I’ve even taken it. Today is World Mental Health Day. It’s a day for mental health awareness, education, and advocacy.

I didn't expect to see him here, Outside smoking. I'm rocking a nicotine patch. I was joking, I mean I did quit but who feels like joking now? I saw his scowl and raised him a furrowed brow. I hope he remembers how we used to read Shakespeare and we barely understood it but it gave us a voice or a language. I don't read anymore but if I did We would be reading it tonight for sure. I keep thinking about how the timing feels false. Some days are faster than my fucking pulse and others go so slow like this morning felt like a month ago. There was a time when I thought that we were going to always be together. It was the three of us against the world. We were happy. I am having a hard time letting that go.
