Maggie, I feel like you and I are on the same journey but you are several steps ahead of me.

I rented an apartment once for a month, thinking we would have to flee there. I did manage to sneak stuff out but I ended up using it as an office to collect and organize as much paperwork as I could for my legal case.

I still haven’t taken a full breath, although my children say I sigh a lot. I suppose that is my current method of taking a breath.

I haven’t exercised in over a year as I have no time for self care yet. We are only four months out and life is still in survival mode.

Thank you for continuing to share your journey. One day, I hope to catch up to you.
