      It really does get better. I promise you that it does get better. Sometimes it has to get darker before it gets lighter, but the sun always rises. You matter and you deserve love.

      Even though I knew deep down I had to leave my ex-husband, it felt very surreal and difficult to stay on that path until I was finally out for good. But holy shit life felt so much easier when I did. I was super poor, a single mom, and living out of my friend’s spare bedroom. It was still so much better.

      You are loved. You matter.

          Difficult relationships are difficult regardless of the specifics. You’re always welcome to vent and seek advice here <3

      I did 11 in an abusive marriage. It really does get so much better. 🫂

      There’s a lot of work to do with unpacking and healing, and the path will have rough spots, but give yourself space and grace and have patience with yourself.

      Fortunately I was only in my bad relationship for four years, but now that i’ve been out of it for a couple years I can confidently say that it does get better ❤️

      Unfortunately it takes time
