Ending is just a beginning

 I married my first husband for reasons other than love. I felt I had no other choice. If I didn't he could take our son away from me and I couldn't let that happen. Fast forward 16 years and I knew my son would be okay if I left, but I chose to stay. One day my son told me "mom I know you are miserable here with dad. I also know you stay because of me. That makes me feel guilty because if not for me you could go be happy". That was when I realized that the end had finally come for this chapter in my story. I moved in with family and continued to work on getting my disability and finding my true self, beginning the next chapter in my story!
