I hope someone can take my words and use them for strength. I know how hard and what a tug of war one plays between their heart and mind. I remember feeling so scared of the unknown and what was brainwashed into me as what would happen to me and my children if i were to leave. yes I too have noticed the 3 year mark for many woman. I know to many that sounds like a long time and feel as though that would be to painful. Its not that at 3 years you are better. during the 3 years you start to grow and slowly feel better, one will always no matter how much you hate or feel distraught over your relationship some moments in time years later when something catches your breath and you feel a wave of sadness or longing. but it will go away, faster as time goes on. ]

Im so sorry for all the pain women have to go through. But there is a way out there are many people here to help you.
