I absolutely loved this piece and could relate to so much of it

Congratulations to you for both getting the job done, recognizing your own part in the dysfunctional relationship and now being able to release it. You Know you did more then was your responsibility…..

I will write to you separately since your story, and mine are very similar. You have opened my eyes in a lot of ways 😍

With love, Marcia M

Great story.

I can feel the reverberations of a slamming door too long forcibly held open to nefarious intruders.

Perfect ending.

Welcome to new and better doors being opened to you and for you, specifically and finally, this time for just you. 👏🏽

The description of your journey to Oklahoma and into your family’s mess was superb! I like that you reconnected with an old friend, who truly lived up to the description, and that all that was good was given away, and that the tar pit of your mother’s house is no longer beckoning. You’ve cared, you’ve helped, you’ve set some boundaries, and now you’re free! I used the same word, “divorce”, to describe a change I made in an abusive relationship some time ago. It works! Let the relationship evolve if it will. Otherwise, it’s history. Thanks Cylvia!
