This was such a brave post, and I hope you know that everyone who reads it feels compassion and understanding. And I have been reading you since you were married to that guy. You should be immensely proud of who you have become. You not only found the strength to save yourself, but you've created a beautiful life for you and for your children. You are a talented, loving woman and you've worked hard for it! I'm happy you've found yourself. Oh, Echo.

I truly wish I could have read it at 16. It might have saved me 3 years of misery and fear. I'm so proud of you for moving on, for speaking up, and for stopping the cycle.

I know how hard it must be to talk about your ex. I'm so glad you found a good man that cares for you and that you and the kids have a safe and loving home. I was not physically abused, but I was mentally/emotionally abused by a boyfriend. He excelled at playing mind games and I felt trapped in our 2 year relationship until I finally got loving support from friends. After I broke up with him, I constantly looked over my shoulder, fully expecting him to come after me and finally do some physical harm. That was 13 years ago and some days I still look over my shoulder. Thanks for posting this, Echo. I know how hard it must be to talk about your ex.
