I did it. I'm free. I'm not forcing a good mood, I'm just in one.

I did it for my son. I did it for me, a mom, a person who deserves real love, not a trauma bond.

Admitting it here helped. And my son said he was worried about me because I seemed unhappy.

So I put a stop to the stupidity I put myself through for scraps. I faced it. I ended it. And I feel almost fantastic.
