A Day in the Life of Me

Welcome to my little corner of the internet. My names Marcia (pronounced marsha) and I am a Domestic Violence survivor. This blog is a part of my healing process and, I hope, yours too!

Now, for a quick intro to my story. My story starts back in October of 2018 when I got a like on my dating profile and sent him a message. By the end of November (with the promise that he would have a job and we’d move in a few months) I was moved in with him, his 3 kids, his parents and his brother who has Downs Syndrome. I miss his brother and the kids. January 11, 2019 we were married. 90 days after that is when things really began to change, the annulment period was up ya know. I left the first time at the beginning of November 2023, a week after trying to end my life. It took me about 9 months to leave again in September of 2024 after my therapist (the 2nd one I’d had that year) pointed out that what I was going through was abuse. I tried for another 4 months to make things work, while being separated. After doing a lot of work on myself, I said enough January 12th, 2024. It has been hard and I’ve wavered in my strength to stay gone, but I’ve done it! Now, after 8 months of separation I’m just waiting to get that court date so I can fully take my life back.
