The Rotten Past, the Questionable Present

During our first three years of married life, Ron and I have done battle with each other’s demons:  mine from Rose Cohen and Marjorie McLean and his from his ex’s.

I realized this morning that Peter and Bonnie were right; I have been suffering from brain chemistry imbalance, for lack of a better descriptive, resulting from abuse and possibly pre-natal stress.

Ron’s been neglected, betrayed and taken advantage of, both by one particular member of his family and his ex-SO’s.

I have a lot of bad memories, mostly around work.  For years, I was in the wrong type of job and I still have problems in environments with a lot of other people.

Ron is helping me to heal and I hope to be doing the same for him.

Meanwhile, my New Year’s wish is to live in a place where our neighbors like us and where we “fit in” socially.  That would require either that we move or that some households around us change.  Time will tell.
