Thank you for all the constant reminders as I try to wrap my head around how horrible my marriage has become - it's so easy to want to stay in denial. Your support means more than you will ever know.
I can't thank you all enough for being there for me and reminding me of the reality of my situation. It's not something I tell people usually because it's so dang dysfunctional and I like how I usually show myself as a confident gal (believe it or not). But you guys have been witness to some of the hardest stuff of my life and not given up on me. I can't thank you enough and want to let you all know I am thinking long and hard about all of this.
I intend to grow and mature no matter what the outcome of my marriage. Somebody further back up my thread mentioned the child-parent dynamic of a relationship. I'd be interested in hearing more. I am working on being treated like an equal adult, not an abused child!
Isn't it strange how we can nearly reach midlife and still have so much to learn.
