In the early 1980’s I was married to a horrible, abusing, narcissistic man who lied pathologically. He fought the divorce. He hurt my children. He was a psychopath that pretended once to be a good man. 1/thread
Like most abusers, he had a public and private face. Everybody liked him. I’m telling you all this for several reasons.
In 1994 just a few days after my divorce was finally over, I married the love of my life. We have been married nearly 27 years now. /2

One day my new husband and I had a fight. He came up and was yelling right in my face, i instinctively raised my arm to block a direct hit. He was however silent, and his eyes were warm and had tears. He said, I will never touch you in anger. /3
What was amazing was, I believed him. That was all I had known. Judgment and doubt from others, emotional and physical abuse... and now this man I loved stood in front of me and said “ We will fight, but I will never strike you, we will heal with love and words” /4
I later told him he pretty much had it made; because even on his darkest & most disgustingly angry days he would be a prince compared to the relationship I had come from. It was true. We did fight! Yet I always compared it to the horrors of the past. /5
I knew we could solve it with love, honesty and respect. I trusted him.
Now, all these years later I see the past four years were a trigger. A daily trigger for PTSD of another cheap, child abusing, pathological, abrasive con man, and abuser. /5

45’s days are almost done. Even on Biden’s worst, most miserable day, he will find in me a supporter that knows while he is in charge, I know we will not be assaulted with the daily atrocities of 45 again. That helps. I have his back, I’m ready to heal. /6
Are we damaged, Bruised, Demoralized, or broken? Many of us are, yes. Did we cry out for help where others did not listen, or sided with insanity? Yes. Yet, we took it back. Our voices screamed 7,000,000 times louder. This is our country!
That is how I feel now. It will be ok.
