II. "You are a brick tied to me that's dragging me down."

For the four years I stayed with him, every day felt more and more like I was trapped and it was getting harder to get out. There was drugs, alcohol and abuse. All things that made me scared to leave. So what did I do?

I took more drugs to cope with the unhappiness and general distaste for my life after my brothers suicide.
I neglected my daughter, worked long hours to support my habit (and his as he eventually ended up getting fired) and became a person I look back on now and despise.

In the three years since I left, I still battled with drugs. I had my heart broken enough to know that I'm no longer interested in love unless the person is willing to show me that they are real and most importantly, I've become a good mother and I've become a better person.
