You are amazing! Sorry you had to go through the pain, but now it's over and I think it is fantastic you have the spunk to start a new life in a different country.
I wish for you wonderful things in life, and especially a future with someone who will appreciate how special you are. Stay looking straight ahead, that is where your future is located.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
