One year I'm free. Thank you Stalkers.

I rarely post but do read every day. Numerous times a day in fact. I just want to say thank you for being here for me even if I am not well known.

In 9 days I will have been separated from my husband for one year. It has been the best year I have had in 20. I'm free from the drama of competing with a mini wife. I'm free from the bullshit excuses and enabling. Free from my dark bedroom where I wished for death.

I have a job, my very first apartment and most importantly I have PEACE!

I loved my husband but he wanted his daughter/wife more. I hope they both rot together.

I love you Steptalk for getting me through this last couple years. By reading here I discovered that my screwed up life was understood by SOMEONE.

I gained the courage to leave by reading this site. I grew stronger in this last year by reading this site. You are my hero's. Everyone of you and I sincerely thank all of you.

I will NEVER will never, ever find myself in a step relationship again. In fact, I don't even date. Men with kids turn me off.

Good for you. May I ask, how long you were married? It is sad that so many people have th face the death of a marriage to get peace and sense of self-repect. HUGS!

Seriously I was scared to death. But I made it. I am making it. I am alone and I love it. After almost a year I'm never lonely. And it's not because I have a man, it's because I learned to live with myself.

NO ONE deserves to be in bed hoping for death.
