My post op relationships Losing the last 250 pounds!!

Howdy y'all, I have only been to the Florida board a couple of times, but since Florida is my NEW home thought I would visit and hopefully find some new friends. As many of you know, I was living in a bad relationship with my husband for many years. I thought having WLS and losing 230 pounds would fix what was wrong in our relationship. Te old addage of relationships that are bad will only get worse and relationships that are good will only getter better rang true for me as well. I found myself writing only the good things about my DH, and believing for some reason that the way I was being treated, welll I must have deserved it for some reason. I would only talk about things that werent so bad and ignore the physical, and emotional abuse. Somehow this year I finally managed to gather the strength to leave, and I have been gone for oever a month now. I have kept a written journal of all of my experiences and finally have gathered up enough inside me to start transfering that written journal over ot my profile. I have neglected to write in my profile for over a month until today. It felt so good to type out some of the words from my written journal and let them out finally. I still have many entries to add to the on line journal but it will take time. Soon maybe I will be caught up with my journal and can write about events as they happen. But it has been a very trying month for me and I just wasnt ready to type them on until today. Tonight I will add more to my journal and with each entry I can feel myself growing stronger. Love Dolly
