Well I just spent the last few hours reading all of your posts. Thoroughly enjoyed the flashes of memory back to my divorce(s)! One controlling behaviour and the second a blindsiding betrayal less than two years into our marriage. The second divorce and subsequent dating site betrayal..... led me to writing to clear my head of all the pin ball machine confusion. I wrote a rom com and dedicated it to women everywhere in the hopes they too found support in the aftermath of betrayal. Maybe you could write about getting away safely from a coercive controlling situation and also how to cope when finding betrayal has been added to your marriage pot! Both very very emotional experiences. Love that I stumbled upon substack from a New Zealander on instagram and here I am in Manchester UK getting instant access to your page which resulted in a delightful ‘unputdownable’ Sunday experience on an autumn day. Loved it all. 👏🏻👏🏻

“It took time, but over the years it became home. Mirroring the state of our hearts, minds, and lives, home often has little to do with the externals and everything to do with how we define ourselves in relation to it.”

And you know what's fascinating is that home for me has evolved. At one point, a couple month ago, it stopped feeling like my home but I've return to nurturing it and the energy has shifted back. It's wild how much a home is a living breathing thing...
