Poetic snapshots from inside an emotionally abusive marriage.  My marriage.  We were married 23 years by the time the divorce was final.  During the marriage, I didn't realize how far I had been beaten down. I had no hope.  After I left, I started to look back and see my slow decline at the hands of my narcissistic (now-ex) husband.  I wrote this partly to heal from the abuse, and in the hopes that my experiences might help another.
    
    The last two poems are positive in nature.  I couldn't end this book on such a negative note.  There is hope an the last two poems show that, I hope.All Rights Reserved
