Great story! Good for her!
I often wonder why women stay with terrible husbands. I have a friend right now who is a lot like this one, but she stays. They must be broken themselves in some way.
Your character is not broken. I love that she left. I hope she comes to my house. I hope she is not you.
Where have you been woman! I've missed your stories! You needn't tell me, of course, I just want you to know you have been missed. I am very happy to see your story here today.
