I worked a full time job, raised two kids, and spent all my free time helping my husband farm and raise some livestock. I completely lost who I was. the weekends were spent cutting, loading, and stacking wood. could not go anywhere overnight because had to feed the animals. I made sure my husband was able to do all he wanted until I started having strokes. We sold the farm and moved into a trailer park. He went back to his first love, heroine, until we could no longer afford to stay on our farm. He held me responsible and saying that we lost the farm because I got sick. For the next 13 years he checked out on life and continued with his drugs and then started hanging at the bars playing Keno and drinking. Then he met a bartender who had a pain pill problem and he abandoned me. leaving me with all the outstanding bills, a son that began his own drug abuse. I was left with nothing but his mess. I had a mental break and two years later I am finally rising from the ashes. He also stole all my jewelry I had collected since junior high. I was 50, my teeth were falling out and my looks had faded drastically. I am now 62 and homeless. I will continue to rise but would really appreciate if people would not tell me to get over. I'm all for helpful criticism but instead of saying get over maybe tell me how to get over it. He died in 2023 and my son is in prison for 28 years and I still get mad at my ex for this. Anyway onward and upward with God by my side.
