A friend called this morning just to check in and see how I’m doing. They never knew me before the abusive relationship. They said this morning even with the amount of stress I have to deal with leaving this relationship and trying to move on this is the least stressed they have ever seen me. They laughed with joy about how I will be once this is all dealt with.
Whilst things are currently incredibly difficult its so good to be able to appreciate these small glimmers of hope.
