That's the message I'm trying to convey.
It's too late for me. I didn't have my first MRI until four years after the divorce. My spinal cord injuries were a result of his throwing me. I had pain during the marriage, but didn't know how bad. Now, for the rest of my life, I have to live w/ chronic pain and no one 'can see' busted discs. Sort of like depression ... 'if you can't see it .. is it really there?
So, as he thrives, I can never run again. I can never wake up or lie down w/o pain again. I cannot even sit and watch TV w/o pain!
This is a warning to anyone being physically abused.
I'm sorry if that's not clear. It's hard to be 'real clear' when you're taking narcotics daily.
bestwishes, cf
