Relationships


I feel like it's time for me to get back into the relationship thing. It's been long enough, and I've put my love life on hold while I was healing and while I was aiding the children in their healing process. I don't miss what I had when I was married, not by any stretch of the imagination, but I do want someone to share my life with. My next relationship will be very different from what I had because I know so much more about myself and love than when I was 19 years old.
 
Now I will enter a relationship with my eyes wide open. My choices will be very different than the way I did things before. People may or may not like what I choose, but that is okay because I have learned that I am in control of myself and my life. I have the right to choose for myself, even if others don't agree. I will not be controlled again.
 
So, cheers to myself for taking the next step in my healing and choosing to have relationships.

Good for you! Thanks for sharing your journey. I'm just starting the healing process and am putting my love life on hold for a year to recover from abuse (that I didn't know had a name).
