I feel like I'm spiraling. I can't smile and if I do, it is forced. Nothing brings happiness to my day. Not even my grandson. I am just working and going home to shower then bed. I've lost all desire to do anything that I used to enjoy. I know what my tipping point was. I had a contractor come in and they have been repairing my home. A couple of months later, a leak was found on Christmas day. It was at that point I lost all hope. It was on that day when I had a friend tell me "Just take it one day at a time and get a contractor out there!" How in the fuck do I take things one day at a time when things go to shit for me ONE FUCKING DAY AT A TIME!!!???? Just when I think I am going to have some happiness in my life, I am thrown back into a hole.
I can physically feel the depression taking over. I had some happiness for a couple of months when my house was finally getting repaired. It was a strange but welcome feeling.

Knowing all of this has made me hate him. I know it does nothing to him. It will only eat away at me but that has been happening to me for almost 20 years. I can only now admit that I hate this man with every fiber of my being. When I met him, I was in a good place. I was happy with myself, I had friends, I loved sex and I believed in love. In the almost 2 years I was with him, he destroyed every last bit of me. I know it was only 2 years but in 2 years, he obliterated every bit of who I was. Not a day went by where he didn't mentally or em...
