Anita, I did not and do not want to cause any distress or bring bad memories. I understand how exhausting it was for you.

Thank you for asking about my life, you are very kind.

I do not live with my mother since 2020 and I have not spoken to Tom since 2018, except when he texted me to apologize over a year ago.

I live far from the city now. I found a job,  I got lucky with that. Some of my health problems are still there, some has worsened, but my mental health improved.

I still have struggles but I am free of what was ruining me.  Maybe I will start a thread sometime in the future. I am trying to just live and make up for the lost time. There’s a lot of nature here, I love how the weather changes. I ride a bike a lot, I walk, observe birds, take pictures.

It is so different from my previous life.

How are you, Anita?
