Whenever I sit and tell people the stories of my life, I'm often told it's unbelievable and that my life has been or is more interesting than a soap opera. I guess I'd have to agree. I have been through so many up and downs and bumps in the road and I don't know why but I just want to share it. I want to blurt it all out. I want to tell my version of events and share my narrative here on the blog.
One Day I Will Write a Book About My Life
I've always wanted to write a book, an autobiography so to speak. I think it could be a best seller but I have no idea where to begin. I have no idea how to get a book deal and I guess there is a fear deep inside of failing.
So for now I will continue to share my story here on The Inspiration Edit. It's no secret I've been through two divorces in my life. Sadly I married young and both times the marriage ended in abuse and so I braved the waters of courage and left.
I don't know how many women could have left the way I did. Both times I faced ridicule and judgement by people seeing a young woman in a failed marriage. Little did they know what went on behind closed doors.
I don't know what would have happened to me or my child had I not left my daughter's father. I had to get out and get a protection order. It was not easy.
I loved the man but I did not love his behaviour and the things he did and so I made the right choice for me and my child.
I've written about it a few times now. There are so many parts to my story and I really do want to tell it all one day.
Sharing the Stories of My Life
So why do I want to share what happened to me in the past? Why don't I just bury it away and forget about it? Well I have a number of reasons and the first being "The Truth".
I am a strong believer in telling the truth and being honest and I want the truth to be told.
I also want to share what I have been through in the hope it can inspire and give hope to others who may find themselves in abusive relationships, failing marriages or difficult circumstances.
I want to show that you can get through and overcome any challenge and bounce back stronger.
I want to be an Inspiration to those around me and show that happiness is a choice and not a destination.
I plan to write more about my life in the coming weeks and am going to look into the option of book writing. Maybe I can do it if I just believe I can.

I think it's definitely good to share your story. Sadly you won't be the only one who's faced it 🙁 x
I won't and never will be the only one but by sharing I can give strength to others.
I think you should start writing your book. It would be good for you and other people out there who have had similar experiences. Even if you do it just for yourself to start off with!
I think I should start my book too! I agree.
Such a grave post. I too believe in telling the truth. We are humans not just fictional characters x
Yes and I think the truth of my life needs to be out there.
I read your post about your partner and you leaving Sylvia's Dad and I think it's great you are raising awareness and showing people that they can get out and can find a better life
thanks. You sure can get a better life and be happy and free by leaving a controlling relationship.
Reading your story is very touching, I hope you find happiness always.
thanks. We are very happy now.
It sounds like you have had an interesting life. I think sharing stories of difficult relationships and how you managed to break free, can help those in the same position get out of theirs
It sure had been interesting and full of bumps in the road and leaving is an important step and something i should share with others.
Well done for putting your daughter's and your safety and well being first. Not easy to walk away, but look at you now!
I can't wait to hear more about your story - it sounds like you've made some brave choices for you and your daughter 🙂
thanks Jess. I am for sure going to write more often.
I believe that at some point we all sit down and say our life is boring or hectic but never interesting but I think we should all write our stories because our lives are so much more interesting than we believe!
Oh, I hope you will be healed by time. Those bad memories may not be totally erased but I hope, will be slowly replaced with good one!
time does heal but i think lessons and inspiration can come from this which is why i want to share.
