Dawn Loves Buttercups

By far it was finally getting up the courage to leave a marriage that I had invested 37 years of my life never admitting to myself that I was married to a controlling man who had narcissistic tendencies and that I had allowed it to happen.  With good advice and help from friends and one dear friend in particular I knew I had to do it for my own physical and mental health and happiness.  I made the final decision around October 2021 even though I had been building up to find the courage for many years.  I left with only my personal belongings and moved back at 72 years old to a place where I had spent my teenage years.  The goal was to become stronger and independent and I believe although I still have work to do on myself, that I have met those goals
