Eventually my husband and I reunited and we have been together for 50 years, he is a changed man, he isn't as abusive and we have toughed it out so far with love that we have shared together. Sometimes we fall into the ruts of those old patterns, but not for long because we both realize that the way we were is not what we are or what we want to be. Love has pulled us through, the realization that if we love ourselves we can love each other, why would we want to choose to feel anything bad when we can feel good. Life is a gift, enjoy it, chooses to be happy.
