It’s been a tough weekend, rainy and dark, emotional triggers, ACEs making a reappearance, but Bosco and I made the best of it with hikes in the forest and visits with retired friends. I really appreciate the wisdom and grounding of retired friends and colleagues. This weekend I am so grateful for my wise friends and this guy. Bosco has made my last five years amazing. Always curious, always caring, always ready to cuddle. Literally the best thing I have ever done. I spent the weekend working on my boundaries, my psyche, opening a police file, understanding my rights, ultimately empowering myself with choices, education, and listening to my gut and having compassion for myself and my past mistakes. Here’s to anyone who has felt shame for staying too long in the wrong relationship, for painting the red flags green, for ignoring the deal breakers. I’m taking some of my own advice here, don’t forget to change the locks for ones he owns in your head. #stalker #toxicrelationships #moveon #retiredcolleagues #changethelocks #goaway #gogetyourowngym #aces #whencanwetravelagain #womanandherdog #toughweekend #gothroughit #notyourfault #movingon (at Esquimalt) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWSB83FFzqF/?utm_medium=tumblr
