Freedom
I was in an abusive marriage for 35 years. Had 3 children and was afraid to leave, afraid I wouldn't be able to support them. I had no family support, couldn't tell them anything. It was different back then. Maybe I would have been braver now.
Those days are gone. I became a widow 12 years ago. From day 1 I was relieved of my burden. So many friends and all my in-laws were there for me. I actually talk a lot now. I am happy to be me. One of my friends gave me nickname of giggles if that tells you anything. I have promised myself that if a man cannot treat me with respect in every way I will not be his friend. I am passionate about so many things, life is good.
