Today is the 20th anniversary of our first date. That seems significant. Something you may want to acknowledge.
Sadly, we are not in a great place. We are nowhere really.
You say you love me but you actions scream something completely different.
I admit to being far from perfect and hard to love most days. But hurt people hurt people. And after 15 years of pain, neglect, emotion abuse I just don't have the energy to care.
How do I leave? How do I break away and heal?
Fat, desperate, and needy. That is what my father said to me on my wedding day. I let those words fester in my brain. Coupled with your neglect and disrespect I never stood a chance.
I am scared of you. You have never hit me, that would mean you have to touch me. But your anger seethes just below the surface and I cannot do it anymore. The slamming of items, the hitting the dogs, the silent treatment.
You claim to be tired and go to bed. Shut the door and when I come in a short while later you are on your phone. You turn it off the roll over and go to sleep. Who lies every night? Actually, why lie?
I really want to be loved completely. To be safe. To be cared for.
