I’ve posted several times in here regarding my now ex-husband and my ties to a very conservative, very strict religious upbringing.
I’m happy to report that it’s been basically one year since I started the process of getting away from both, and oh my goodness I could not be happier now. I have been happily living in my own (which, admittedly, was not so happy at first), I have a fully furnished apartment, my own car, my own friends, and essentially my own life. I’m even dating someone (casually for now, taking things slowly). And my job is paying for me to start grad school and take classes towards my Master’s! That’s not to say my life is perfect. I do still sometimes miss my family, but I’ve surrounded myself with so many amazing and supportive people that those moments are short-lived.
Thank you everyone who was so supportive and gave me such amazing advice! My thanks in this post can’t possible express my gratitude! So I just wanted to give everyone who read, reached out, commented, and otherwise supported me a little thanks and update.
I’d also like to pay it forward. If anyone ever needs support or someone to listen to them, please know I’m always here 🥰
