Just a diary rant for the sick and broken hearted (trigger warning: there ain't no happy ending to this post lol):
I thought I knew what pain was. I've been through a lot in my life. Suffered through trauma and illness for many years.
But nothing quite prepares you for the feeling of being left behind by the one person who you thought would always be there. My ex was the one who was by my side through flare ups, surgeries, meltdowns. Was there when I could barely walk or eat. There when I cried and saw doctor after doctor. And his family never liked it. Chose to never accept me and abuse me for it.
In the end, they gave him an ultimatum. When the abuse got too bad, when finally after 5 years of suffering through it, when I finally put my foot down and refused to be treated that way anymore by his family... they made home choose. Me or them. And all because I was too sick to come over "enough." Because I was too sick to host dinner parties during a fucking world pandemic. Too sick to eat at family gatherings. Too sick to go on family vacations.
They emotionally and verbally abused me for 5 years. Said horrible things to me. Told me I was faking it and disrespectful for not coming over during flares and being sick on their couch. Screamed down my throat that I wasnt what they wanted. And in the end they got what they wanted.
In the end they got their son, brother, grandson to walk away from his sick fiancé because I didn't fit into their ideal plan. I wasn't who they had hoped for. I wasn't convenient.
26 years old and I don't think i will ever be able to love again. Don't think i'll ever be able to believe another word from any person who claims to care about me. Don't think I even know how to spot a good person. A good soul. Do they even exist? who knows.
But more than anything I hope HE thinks about this for the rest of his life. I hope he thinks about how much love I poured into our relationship. How I endured constant abuse for 5 years because I thought he was worth it. That I didn't want his family's terrible behaviour to dictate our relationship. And then within two months time of me finally NOT tolerating it anymore... he gave up on me and us. Decided i wasn't worth it. That the last 5 years weren't enough. Discarded me like trash.
I've had to sell the home we bought together. The house with 2 extra bedrooms for our future children. The backyard that we bought because it was big enough for a pool. Was left to pack up the belongings.... cancel my wedding. Sell my dress. Sell my ring. The entire process was incredibly painful. I can't even describe it.
he didn't help with one thing. Refuses to help me pay off the wedding deposits .... just left.
I hope he realizes that he's worse than them. Because he lied to me. Pretended to be who I needed until it no longer was convenient for him either. His his true colours for when it worked in his favour.
But either way I'm just here ... discarded and broken. And honestly it just gets worse everyday.
Just had to send this into the void of tumblr. Had to get it down and out there. tired of silently screaming it to myself in my own head.
