Many years ago, I was in a very #toxicmarriage . I entered into that relationship at 17 years old and stayed there almost 20 years. I won’t get into victim mode and all the terrible things that happened in the relationship. Instead, I will tell you I learned MANY lessons. Obviously, I learned these hard lessons out of fear from being on my own.
During those years I put myself through university and higher education bringing my 5, 4, and newborn to many classes when I did not have access to a babysitter, or my husband could not be bothered to watch them.
