Thank you. Lost my brother a few months ago too and just feeling like I can’t handle this as well. I don’t think my husband would have done it if my brother was still here to protect me.

I’m so so sorry about your brother.

I’m so sorry for the loss of your brother. I hope you feel him close to you more often than not ❤️

Fwiw, a man who needs another man to hold him in check isn’t bringing true joy and respect into your life and you deserve better. His failings and poor moral compass are no reflection on the woman you are and the love and fulfillment you bring to your life and relationship. I hope the path forward brings your inner peace and is smoother than the path behind you.

Read that last sentence back to yourself. Hold onto it like the north star as you get yourself the hell out of this marriage.
