To My Beautiful Anonymous 20 Years Later

Having to start over after spending the lifetime building a home with a man who never wanted to marry me and made sure I was reminded throughout the years. I can empathize with you in so many ways.

Starting over and giving up everything you love and have in your life is the most scary thing you could possibly imagine doing.

I had the 4 babies, good job, amazing in-laws who claimed they would always have my back.

When it came down to it, no one really did. I had to fight for my life.

Our relationship was amazing at first. I was working four jobs and he gave me my children back by helping me get an apartment and a job in a town where no one knew me by my family ties. I was able to live by half of my identity.

I didn’t realize how much I was giving up when I stayed after I told him he had to choose between me and his grandfather.

If I had left when i first chose to stay, my entire journey would’ve been different. I don’t know if I would have had the courage to start therapy. I don’t know if I would’ve been able to survive the near-death experiences I endured these past years.

I know one thing is certain.

He did me a favor by leaving me.
