5.5 years ago, I divorced my husband of 21 years. He was narcissistic, and emotionally and financially abusive. Our family (we have 3 beautiful, amazing now-adult children) scraped by, paycheck-to-paycheck, and always on eggshells when he was around. He had a 6th sense for when I’d get to the end of my rope and start thinking about a divorce, and suddenly things would get better. I was on this unhappy roller-coaster ride for FAR longer than I should have been. 🧵
