reclaim my ability to live single
Singlewomandom 2 years ago

I’ve just spent the last four years of my life in a verbally abusive…degrading…and controlling relationship only so I’d never have to be single, alone, or a single-alone-woman ever again. I mean come on…I spent my entire twenties there…well up to 27 single. It gets old. Brains are short stocked, and morals are at an even lesser availability. I decided by the time I met this man…marriage and singlewomandom…OVER

He screwed me over. He took advantage of me…and he made me believe I COULDN’T get by on my own..(even though I had for nearly a decade before his sorry ass)

I found “singlewomandom” my biggest fear. I put up with everything. Broken promises, guilt trips, trips to the beer store were more prevailant to trips to the chapel for prayer. I just didn’t want to be ALONE again.

I PUT UP WITH MORE BULLSHIT TO REMAIN IN A RELATIONSHIP AND AVOID BEING SINGLE THAN MOST PEOPLE PUT INTO THEIR OWN CHILDREN…sad on an entirely different level

He couldn’t even tell me the truth when she answered the phone and told me she was having his baby. He still tried to lie. Now she’s the one stuck with him…and I never thought my life would sound like a Jerry Springer greatest hit. Not one of my 43 top goals.

Through the bad choices he made..I didn’t do what he expected or wanted me to do. I didn’t chase after him. I have come along fine. I truly am a more independent and strong minded woman for it.

My ability to live single has finally been restored!!

YEAAAAA



find a new place to live
Untitled 3 years ago

It’s amazing how much your surroundings affect your whole outlook on life. So glad I finally to innitiative to pack up and move to a better place.



be more assertive
They don't bite back 3 years ago

Ever wondered what would happen if you stopped being a doormat?

I spent time as a doormat for years…spent my life scared to stick up for myself. Then….I finally stuck up for myself…how incredibly liberating.

The person stomping on me…stopped…just like that. And it made me want to relay this:

The person stomping on you…might just be doing it because they feel stomped on themselves. Stomp back!!

It has taken me years to figure out that the only respect I need…is my own self-respect. When you have that…no one will ever stomp on you again.

As a side note…years after this self-realization, you may have a young buck stick up to you…remember…it took guts for them to do so…let them have their self-respect as well.

Why this took me 30 years…God only knows..

One milestone down…50,000 to go

Best
K
