Tonight I watched parts of the animated movie Sing. The song 'I'm still standing' came on and I had to repeat it a few times in my head. Its been over a year since my ex wife dropped the bombshell that changed me and my life. Then came the fact she was cheating, told me she never loved me just pretended to, severe emotional abuse, manipulating me into and using me for sex, telling me to kill myself when I was at my lowest, then swears she didn't, and everything else she put me through just because she could and wanted to. It was so bad that ive been diagnosed with PTSD and battered spousal syndrome.. Some days are hard, I miss the life I had, and the time I had with her, but I realized that it was her that changed. It is a reflection of her true nature and not of my value. And as the song said,, I'm still standing. Some days may be rough, I may get in my head or breakdown, but I'm still standing. I've met someone who truly means I love you when she says it and doesn't use me for sex, I'm still standing. I've got a great career and I have my family back, I'm still standing. So though some days are tough, still stand and move on and through.
