One of the things that I remember most about being in an abusive relationship was how much I missed out on. It seemed like all my efforts were focused on those that were abusing me and trying to get them to stop. Every moment of every day had the abuser at the center and I was trying to control the outcome.
Now my life is different and I am seeing just how much I have really missed because I am able to enjoy them now for the first time. The little things that you hear everyone else talking about and taking for granted. Things that others take for granted bring tears to my eyes. The first time my kids laughed out loud without being afraid of getting into trouble.
My kids playing and running around the house. The music being turned up too loud. Things that others take for granted or find annoying were pure joy for me. I find far more joy in the little things now than I ever thought possible.
