My wife left me because she did not understand mental illness. It took me years to realize that I did not need someone like that to define myself and my happiness in that area of my life.

She did not understand that because I was not bleeding or did not have broken bones that I was still hurting. Although I am still lost, cutting ties with someone who did not understand me and my issues was a good thing.

I at first thought I was dumped as well. But then I realized I was actually saved from being with someone who would never understand me.
