I was in a horrible mentally abusive relationship. When you’re in a relationship with someone who mentally and emotionally keeps you down it’s very hard to keep going day to day and see the positive in anything. I’m glad to see you have turned the negative into your positive and began to grow and overcome the negative.

I am doing the same, taking each day, one day at a time. I've rebuilt myself before from nothing, but then had to give it up to save my kids from their father who lied and leveraged custody for 7 months before I regained it from his narcissistic self again…. But this time it seems so much more unattainable for some reason. And I think it's because I had built my home for my kids and I from nothing, had everything we needed, and when I lost them for a minute, I literally pawned, sold, and traded everything I now owed that was worth any money at all, to pay for attorneys to get my kids back. And now that we are back together in a different apartment, rebuilding seems so much more emotional and harder. I think I'm harboring some inner demons derived from feeling like I did away with all the things that were comforting to my children, to have nothing when I got them back…. Drowning in debt with the pandemic, but I had to quit my job when I instantly got full custody when he was arrested this last March for DV, and the 4 days later, schools shut down until further notice. Regaining all the things we had before this injustice and straight up mess seems so out of reach… Help!!
