So, I haven't been here for a long time. I had gotten married back in 2020, and I stopped going online and blogging, and all of that. I got myself in a lot of trouble in 2021 - my mental health was raging out of control and I was using a lot of substances and drinking.

I ended up in jail for 10 months - which rocked me to my core, both spiritually and mentally.

Since coming out of that, I have spent the past 11 months in rehab, trying to get my life back together. I am currently homeless. I lost everything. My husband was in jail for a year too and has been under the care of doctors at a psychiatric facility since last May.

We both had the same charges around the same people, but God saw it fit to release me from my charges upon completion of this rehab, but for my husband, apparently, the prosecutor wants to put him away in prison for a long time.

He doesn't know any of this and I heard his upbeat voice this morning and just cried on the phone. There is a good possibility that I won't get to see him for a very long time. My heart is so heavy, I have waited so long in my life for someone, and I feel so helpless.

I'm heartbroken on Valentine's Day.

That is a lot to go through, and you sound stronger than you probably think. I’m sorry to hear about your husband, I wish I knew what say, but for now, just know that I hope things improve for you— sounds like you’ve been able to recognize some hard truths, which is a big deal. I hope you are able to get back on your feet and find housing.

Thanks so much, Indigo! It's been hard for sure with all these changes that I have had to go through in such a short time. I really do hope I find housing, it's been on my mind a lot lately. When it comes to my husband, it's obvious we are being kept apart for a reason, and it may be to my own benefit. It's God's will after all. Thanks again.
