Hi ladies —

It has been a tough day, but I finally did it. The restraining order paperwork has officially been served to my current, abusive husband. I went to the courthouse today and officially filed my proof of service. It has been a tough ride ladies. Very tough times for me emotionally and physically.

I moved out about 5 months ago just me and my dog. He would tell me to move out or would make me sleep on the air mattress in the living room until I found a place to live. He hasn’t stopped calling emailing texting and voice messaging. I blocked him every way and he even made up different email addresses to email me.

It was hard for me to relive the moments where I had to write down on paper the times that I went through and seeing the things that he has said to me through text messages, harassing me calling me over and over and over again. I had to go through the text messages and pictures of me today with a bruised eye. It is so traumatic to relive these experiences and I got through the day while working. This is why we need each other and we need to keep reminding each other of our strength and our value I want to Thank this channel for support and for the reminder of what we bring to the table and to never ever settle for anything less. This is a message to all of you to never lower your standards and always always look out for yourself as number one first. Much love XOXO

Update — I am overwhelmed by all the amazing comments from all you ladies. Thank you so much for your words and for making me feel deserving of a peace and happiness in my lifetime.

Additionally, I did treat myself to an ice cream cone at the end of the day. Don’t forget to treat yourselves and celebrate your victories!
