throughout this last year a slow sickness has started taking over, very slow at first, then faster and faster, a sickness that cannot be detected by medical instruments or procedures, a sickness that starts in the mind.
I didn't know what was happening, the persistent feelings of sadness, anger, lack of motivation or love for myself. The constant negative cloud hanging over me, wondering how tomorrow was going to be worse than today, wondering if I would find a better reason for carrying on some other day than I did today and then feeling selfish and horrible for not acknowledging the things and reasons I do have for carrying on. Wonderful family, friends, my son and daughter,
All of these things combined should make any person find the strength to fight on and be more positive about the world, to remember that many people in this world can't say they have the things I do. Deep down I have known this to be true, but another part of me could never be fully satisfied, happy or content. There has always been a part that refuses to surrender to peace of mind and stability, a part that seeks to bring only misery, negativity, isolation, hopelessness and absolute fear.. 268 days spent in silence without my kids, all because I wouldn’t subdue to her threats.. the last thing that was said,
“ I’ll snap your little ******* neck “
to my 2 year old daughter..
I reacted and that’s what brought me to the worst experiences I’ve faced in my life,
Now facing ****** abuse charges, physical abuse charges from the woman who had my heart wrapped around her finger for 6 years..
as a pacifist at heart, I’ve never been in a single fight or condoned violence,
I can’t openly socialize with friends, or family because of the constant feeling of being a burden, I’m scared to meet new people, as I didn’t know my ex before we got together.. strangers are dangerous, I’m stuck in a very tight spot with literally everything weighing over my head including depression, and I can’t see any lights..
My lawyer is a piece of work on his own, I really can’t talk to him anymore as it would seem like he’s against me too at this point,
With 3 separate appearances and nothing discussed, a 4th postponed from early February to late may, I’m left with no visitations and no clue as to when I’ll be able to finally see my children,
I’m literally only comfortable when I’m alone.. I don’t know what to do other than cry..
April 7th... 1 year..
I’m so broken, I can’t breathe above water...
