It has now been a whole year since I moved out of my in-law's place and back in with my family. It feels so good that there has not been any more physical abuse stuff going on for a whole year! No more walking on eggshells or being scared of what's going to happen next. Part of me feels like I still had a fight in me to stay through it still, but that would be stupid and a waste of time. I am also hurt by all of this. I don't want to stay away from him. I love him so much. I just wish he could see what's going on and understand that things have to change. I don't want to be with anyone else.
But while one door has been cracked but never open and then I finally close it, plenty more doors open up. I have now been working a second job for almost 10 months and plenty of doors have been opening with that alone. I have been saving up money for a car and then later on an apartment. I have also been able to pay on multiple medical bills yet also have enough money to pay for gas, my own toiletries, and food. It's like living in an apartment already except I don't have to pay rent since I work almost 40 hours a week. Things seem to be looking up. And through it all, God has been so good. :)
