Once upon a time there was a couple. When they met there was something in common which made them decide to have children, share living space and property. But then the "something in common" vanished and they were fighting about everything: there were no common interests, or similar ways to enjoy life. The time spent together became source of anguish or bore. The economy of being married kept them together as financially a separate life did not seem possible. In the couple one had the power coming from money and family connection and decided to leave, taking advantage of this power to hit as hard a possible the other.
This story is very common although many variations of age, nationality, income, education, personalities. I often use the metaphor of two intersecting lines which diverge then converge to intersect in one point and then diverge again. Geometry offers comfort as logic and rational approach over the turbulence of emotions, cocktails of pain and anger. I am the one without money and family connection: being abandoned hurts, even if I have been neglected and ignored throughout the almost three decades of marriage.
Writing is healing, even when tears spill over the keyboard. I have been blogging for seven years and decided to start a new blog to share my journey and all the places of comforts and support I encounter throughout this path, which I hope will lead not only to survival but to empowerment.
To be continued.
