When blinds in the bedroom look like prison bars

 Trapped.  Resisting, rebelling, fighting - it doesn’t change anything.  But it’s what my heart is telling me to do. I know what he’s doing to me is wrong. I should be long gone. Now is the only moment I regret not having a driver’s license. I wish I had a car, packed my most important things, my dog and left. I fantasize about this often. I feel like I’m writing from prison.

If my husband was physically disabled, but he would be good to me - that would be a heavy cross to carry - but a cross that would bring me closer to salvation. G. is bringing me closer to evil than I have ever imagined. I don’t like the person that I have b...
