I come to Sane when the needles of pain are switching off my brain.
I lost my left frontal lobe in a farm accident 20 years ago.
I am in an emotionaly abusive marriage.
I have just written this.
Flying high
to bite the sky.
Coming down
to hit the ground.
Scream time
dream time.
Point the bone
no one home.
Toxic texts.
When will be the next.

Hi @Ralph and welcome to the forums. I am glad you found us here. That must have been an awful accident. Well done on your recovery path !
I am so sorry to hear you are in an emotionally abusive marriage ..... mine succumbed to that just recently although we had many good years before some massive changes happened that began to take it all away. I am in the process of re-building .... but it's very early days yet.
There are others here in similar difficulties marriage-wise. Are you able to access counselling around the issues ? It can make a real difference to have your abusive spouse know that others are aware of what they are doing. It helped us for a while .....
Take care as best you can, and I look forward to getting to know you better.
F&H
