Personal Blessings…
At the age of nineteen, I was swept away by the charms of a manipulating, controlling, abusive young man. He soon became the love of my life and what I now refer to as “my own personal fatal attraction”.
I would not listen to my family’s pleas to separate myself from him; I would not listen to my friends, and worst of all, I would not listen to my own internal common sense because “I loved him”. I loved him more than life itself. He became my entire world, he was everything I had ever dreamed of and he was everything I needed, or so I thought.
This unhealthy relationship lasted for over twenty-three years. It eventually proved to destroy the very core of my being but as they say, “When a person has stripped you of everything, there is nothing left to destroy.”
Near the end of my marriage health issues of anxiety attacks and other stress related illnesses forced me in therapy. It was here that I was fortunate enough to learn coping skills not taught in the educational school system. In a search to find out who Ali really was, I found my self-esteem and courage. This took me to a level of realizing that I deserved a better life.
