Thank you for sharing this with us all on the bus dear Fuzzybear.

I wish I had, had your courage when choosing/rejecting a husband.
I guess for me the true colours only shone out, once I was fully trapped.

Looking back there were big clues but I was young and even younger emotionally back then.

I am free now but carry the damage.

My life has been a ongoing saga of collecting abuse.
Mainly professionals these days.

Sending hugs and respect to you
