It’s 1000 days since I left Tom. I no longer have anger or resentment towards him and on the whole I can handle anything he throws at me, now and then it gets to me but it affects me for a couple of hours instead of weeks or months, and I’d almost go as far as saying we’re kind of friends. Although I haven’t forgotten the way he treated me, in a way I am glad it happened because although the last 10 years of my life have been incredibly challenging, they have made me a much stronger, self assured person. I feel ready for the next stage of my life and I want to start working towards helping others who’ve been in the same situation.
