Hey. I'm Lauren. I'm here because I'm exhausted. My abuser is currently incarcerated temporarily. It's been a few months now. I know I did the right thing to protect myself and my daughter. I'm just so tired of looking to the future and still not understanding how this all happened. I can't yet envision my life without him. I wake up in a life that doesn't feel like mine every single day. I just want to not think about it anymore. I want to not think about all the awful things that were done, said etc. I want control back of my emotions and thoughts. Most of all, I want relief from the deep pain of this heartbreak. So I'm here in hopes of finding similar people in similar situations to learn from, build ideas from, attain hope from. That's pretty much it I guess.
