Next week will mark the day when last year I finally escaped in-house separation hell and moved over 900miles away with my son to start our New Beginning. I wrote the following as if I could post a public announcement somewhere.
It was so cathartic to write it (I wrote it for the day next week when it will be a year) I didn't care how it may come across or how some may interpret it different to what my meaning is. It was for me and the best I can express my feelings. I wanted to share it, if not publicly, at least here. I feel every word I wrote. I can finally start to see the healing and change in me. It's slow going but it's happening! I blamed myself for so long, tore myself to pieces to try and fix things. Never giving myself slack or a break. I am notoriously hard on myself. So the focus on me in this piece is new and good for me. I want to be kind to myself for a change and acknowledge my successes and struggles.
Sorry this is so long. 
ETA to remove post. Sorry about that but I'm sure those that we're going to read through this would've by now. Thank you for everyone that did and took the time to respond! Much appreciated! I decided to share it IRL and so don't want someone to do a google search and find my username on here. Even though I don't post much on here, most of the times I have were during very vulnerable times or when I was super scared or panicked. I don't want that to be used against me. I don't want my safe venting space intruded.
