I used to be a happy person, not a care in the world. My job was the one thing that I would still do (for free) if I won the lottery. When I found out that my ex husband (who I divorced in 1995) had exploited my mom, who is 84 and has Alzheimer's, I confronted him with this knowledge. I then went to the authorities. My ex then threatened to turn my life into a pile of rubble if I didn't back down on this. I didn't back down and the things that he has done to me, my mom, my fiance, and his family are just unspeakable. We are still holding it together but barely waiting for the justice system to do its part. But I fear that I will never be ME again. |
