Any way the wind blows...

Re: Ask me anything

    What do you do for a living? I'm an secretary for the Social Security Administration

    Any pets- will you pip them? I have 3 bearded dragons, a mali uromastyx (really cute lizard with a scary tail lol), and I had to give up both of my pugs to STBXH. I don't know how to pip at work...

    What would your last meal be? Either chinese crab rangoon and peanut butter chicken, or a huge plate of chicken carbonara mmmm.

    How are you today? I'm feeling okay. Tired and groggy, but feeling good otherwise :)

    Can you give me the Cliff Notes version of your backstory?

    Sure.

    Growing up it was my mom (hard worker, non emotional), my father (verbally/emotionally abusive alcoholic), my brother (ended up in prison for violent drug crimes), and myself. I was alone most of the time as a child, cut myself and was bulemic. I didn't start dating until I was 19. For two years I dated a  drug addict that died in my arms from a heroin overdose. I also did heavy drugs then, but have been clean (except for marijuana) for 6 years. A few crappy relationships on and off, I married STBXH at 23. He was physically/verbally/emotionally abusive. I let it go for 4 years, then left him. I met BF 3 months after I moved out of STBXH's house and we've been together since.

    That's a serious backstory. And from reading your post yesterday (or was it Monday?) I'm really glad to hear you're making progress in the right direction!

    Yesterday, yes. Thank you :) I'm really working hard on myself, going to therapy and trying really hard to not let crap get to me like I always do. I'm sick of feeling broken from a broken past. It's funny because BF said to me yesterday that he has seen a change in me and he's happy that I'm feeling better. I've been taking a lot of time for myself and working thorough things in my mind before saying them/flipping out/being irrational.

    I'm just ready to live my life and not let others live it for me.
