You may think your situation will always be like this, but one day it will change and you will come out on the other side and everything will be alright.<br /><br />Happy New Year everyone.Zowiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15433548857825683596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759421079279172044.post-76265237357629716422015-01-08T01:16:13.998-05:002015-01-08T01:16:13.998-05:00I am recently divorced from my violent alcoholic h...I am recently divorced from my violent alcoholic husband but I still don't feel relief. I am beginning to doubt if I will ever be happy again after living with extreme abuse for 16 years. Shortly after coming out of jail for physically assaulting me again he went on a dating web site and is trying to buy a used luxury car so he can look convincing to some poor woman.

It is hard to focus on yourself or your goals even if you are a strong person. From the emergency hospital trips to the daily balancing of little situations. Every attempt at planning, be it a holiday or be it something you want to do for yourself is regularly sabotaged. After getting through the holiday season almost in one piece it still has left me that stressed that a week into the New Year I still have not taken one step towards my New Year's Resolutions, one of which is to set up a a calendar, personal organizer with goals, jobs I would like finished, so I can keep on track easier. Truth is I feel permanently drained and even trying to plan is failing. That is the hopelessness I feels after years of living with a chronic alcoholic. All my plans now on surviving each day as it comes without an incident.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
