When I first started this blog, it was for my own personal daily struggles, as well as my joys. At the time I was a mom of 4 young kids, grandmother of 2, a wife of a narcissist, alcoholic addict who was verbally, mentally and very emotionally abusive. My days where full of smiles, laughs, fear along with tears. I was a 40 year old women with a home that was full, crazy, and very overwhelming... I was a mother, daughter, sister, grandmother and wife just trying to figure out how to "SMILE" every day, make sure no one could see the pain, and exhausted self I was batteling. I was fighting every day to SMILE and not let anyone realize what it is that I was hiding ... I couldn't seem weak, but I was more alone then anyone with such a full life could probably ever be imagined/ thought of as being.. and it was and has been for a very long time very lonely. Since starting this.. I have left my husband, found an amazing partner who my ex scared away, moved 1300 miles away to learn real betrayal- from someone else who has claimed to love me yet left me feeling lonely and more invalidated then I knew could ever be, then losing that man I ran from, the man who left me feeling unloved... to CANCER.
Now, I am a 47 year old mom of 4 grown kids ( 3 still living same roof with me, not seeming to be going anywhere soon) a grandmother of 3 .I am a women who is overwhelmed, struggling to figure out how I let go of so much, hoping for things to get better.. To becoming a ONLY (not single) parent, who had to recently see her children hold your childhood friend/ once husband-partner of 17 yrs hand until his very last breath from a hard battle of CANCER. I'm a women who while losing that man my children or even I will never have ( have to hate to love, have when things go bad an we need) I am a women who during those very same hours was being lied to, while her new partner/ the person who had claimed to love me/ had said life was going to finally be worth the hard times and I left l everything to be here with... was really in the middle of a 2nd life/ maybe even planning how to walk away, and all before my ex was actually even fully laid to peace. When I needed someone the "MOST/ MORE then EVER", I was losing two parts of my life. I had become a women who with years of disappointment started believing " I may just finally have it ALL"!! That is NOT the case..ONE small choice can change a path in so many ways..so please read how I got this far-alone and stay with me on this journey as I try and figure out the next chapter of many, and my way out of this lost, dark and lonely path....
