Breathe Darling. This is just a chapter. It is not your whole story.

S.C. Lourie

I left an 8 year marriage, 2 kids in tow, after years of losing myself through emotional and verbal abuse.

It’s still hard to write those words, because I’m strong and independent as hell.

But, there I was.
I guess I made it to the other side?

And things are a lot brighter over here. 

Before leaving my marriage, it was hard to find a community of women who had been through the same thing, even though I know they sadly surround us.

After hearing my story, others in my circle reached out to share their stories and get advice. 

I decided to start to write my story. As the words fell onto the pages, I realized I wanted to put these out there in case it helped others who were in my shoes looking for others who had gone through this.

And I’ve since watched multiple of those women walk away from abusive, unhealthy marriages.

So. This is where you’ll find my experiences and stories, both during and after my marriage. The dark and the bright sides.

I’ll share resources & encouragement.
