I’ve been carrying pieces of this story for years, some too painful to look at, others buried so deep I forgot they were even mine. For 23 years, I lived in a relationship that slowly chipped away at who I was. And even now, three years post-divorce, I still find myself picking up the remnants of who I used to be.
