Good for her!! It's good to be forgiving and patient but one day it's time to shake the dust off our feet and get moving. One of my favourite songs is I Believe I Can Fly... "I believe I can soar, see me running through that open door".

Thank you so much, Jenise! There is far more available on Substack that I want to read than I can keep up with.

Damn, I did this once. I am glad I did. It didn't take me long to run.

Good for you! It can take many years to build up the strength and self esteem to leave. I wish for all people living in awful relationships the supports they need to take care of themselves and make their own best decisions.
