I’m sorry she does. I hope you both find a path to remembering why you loved each other once, and use that as the thing to build. It’s really, really hard. I mean super hard.
I know that my ex would rather paint a picture of me as a hateful bitch for even writing an essay like this, thinking it is just a way to make him look bad, but I’m a professional writer, putting life into perspective, using what’s in my “toolbox,” and maybe laying down a path that leads toward healing.

Good luck, TGowens. I mean that.
