You write so well and I among many others value you taking the time to share your personal stories. I'm glad you found a place where you can be vulnerable and honest, and be appreciated for it. I'm glad to hear that your relationship became stronger, I for one dont think I would have been strong enough to stick it out.
The world works in mysterious ways and I am also glad that you found steemit just in time. Thanks for sharing Jess ♡
