@laurie.ann.still.i.rise: I might just drop chapter 2 before the trial. It’s funny, the ending of this particular book in the series that represents my life story was easy to write. It was never meant to end any other way. That wasn’t how God planned it, and God’s plans are greater than any human plan. I struggled with how to start it though. Then yesterday, it came to me. I’ll start with present day. It’s only within the past few years that I’d been able to see the full picture. Each secret and sordid detail of has unveiled itself as my brain has healed from the decades of battling substance use disorder and CPTSD. Memories have played like slideshows in my mind since I chose recovery in the early part of August 2015. Red flags I missed (or gaslight myself into believing I was just being paranoid) were all so crystal clear when looked at through the 20/20 lens of hindsight. I was was blind. Now I see. #4500rosewood #itendswithus #breakthecycle #chapter1 #memoir
