This is the exact date and time I called off the wedding and stopped having my social life dictated, relationships controlled, career and beliefs belittled, and location monitored. Two years out, my single lady life has ups and downs, yet it is INFINITELY more rich, peaceful and joyful than life with a manipulative partner. God is really good. If any of you need help leaving a relationship where you feel trapped, or if you want to swap stories, DM me because I would love to grab coffee with you and hug you. You’re beautiful and brave. #metoo #happyfreedomanniversary (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrNnk9ZFAyzc1KAHKEeNQVX7Sqq92aoVHHlFu80/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=130f2p64ncvaj
