They'd been married for thirty-five years. Thirty-five years and one day. Last night they celebrated with too much wine for her and too much vodka for him. Much too much vodka for him. He wouldn't be up for several more hours despite the sunshine already making it's way across their tiny front lawn. <br /><br />Their children had left her the expected text messages wishing her Happy Anniversary and checking on her, but none of them had called. That stopped long ago.<br /><br />She quietly used the bathroom in the hallway. Despite her husband's snoring, she didn't want to risk waking him up. She didn't flush nor did she wash her hands. She didn't even bother to put her shoes on. Instead, she looked at the black eye and dried blood crusted around her nostrils. Her anniversary gift from her husband when she said she was too tired for intimacy. <br /><br />With tears streaming down her face, she grabbed her pocketbook and cellphone and ran out of the house leaving the front door wide open. She put the car in neutral and let it roll backwards down the driveway before she started it. <br /><br />She called her daughter who cried tears of joy when she heard her mom was finally on her way. The room was ready for her. It was always ready for her mom and her father didn't know where it was.<br /><br />The moment she rounded the curve on the highway, she knew she was free. She was finally free and this gorgeous open road was just the beginning of her new journey, full of beauty and life, just like her.<br /><br /><a href="https://helpingpartnersofsexaddictsheal.org/" rel="nofollow">Elsie </a><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
