From Broken Promises To Inner Peace.
Hello Dearest, A happy new week to you all, I certainly hope this new week brings you all you wish for, including peace of mind, clarity, and joy in all you do.
Let's just go straight ahead to the topic for today, hmm…. Now have I ever broken a promise to someone, I will answer Yes and also No, I know that that sounds confusing to you right? … But alright just read further so you know why I have two answers…
You know when one decided to get married? Yeah? The whole promises that comes from both parties , how do they use to say it, “For better for worst, till death do us part” … yeah those kind of promise, let's say I broke mine but not intentionally , this is because my partner decided to do the whole breaking first by making life become miserable for me, and the living conditions of my kids were at stake.
I'm not saying I'm happy everything turned out to be this way , but we both promised to do good by each other , but along the line , things that weren't supposed to matter became things that was being put forward and I began to question my sanity ,like I am sure this is what we promised to each other? .
Like see , I know every marriage or relationship has its own flaws , but when one person thinks that , it is what he believes and knows that should always stand then there's going to be problem, this promise was broken because my life got threatened and you know that life has no duplicate, it is not something that you will beg Baba God to give you second chance at and you will come back to life after going dead.
It wasn't a really easy decision for me because I had to deal with a lot of things. Physical abuse, emotional abuse, mental abuse in fact, I had to face a lot of gossips, a lot of insults from people here and there, this people do not even know half of the story, I sometimes pray that they enter my shoes and experience the things I had to go throughh, I had to withdraw myself to my inner shell, I was just there being observant and just surviving.
So if you ask me if it was for a good reason the promise we made was broken, I believe I will leave that to you to decide wether it was a good one or a bad one, because I for one , I'm done trying to give myself that talk if it was a good reason or not, what I just cared for was my life , and how my kids will grow up in a kind of condition where everyday they are seeing their young parents throwing big big offensive words at each other and becoming physical at given times.
If for any reason I want to say anything ,I will pick that it is for a good reason , so everyone can have their rest. Right now I do not believe in anything called “Love that lasts forever”…… Nah! , what I believe in right now is Peace of mind for everyone. And that is what I have now chosen for myself every single day, and that is what has become the most important promise I can give myself now.

Thank you for curating
It's better to have peace of mind rather than chasing shadow. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah , that's my thoughts.
Thank you
Peace of mind is not up for negotiations even if it means going against certain promises that has been made.
Yeah. It is not up for negotiations, so it's like that.
Hmmmm there is nothing that is more important than your inner peace and that of your children my sister, I love your courage because some ladies will still be there praying for what prayer can not do, hoping for change where there is nothing.
It’s not easy sha but I pray that God will be with you till the end, because broken vows is better than losing your life.
Nah it is not easy ,but I believe God will come through for me, I just know it is a phase I have to pass . So I'm hoping I scale through no matter what.
And peace of mind is a luxury , I hope u know right ? Sometimes we see in this life can be overwhelming but I am glad you are alive to tell the story
Stay strong my T

Thanks for your comment
You should choose the right person for marriage, if you don't, your whole life will be ruined and then you will have to take care of the children alone. Even the father can take care of them, even the mother can ask for help. You have told us a true story.

Wow. this is so relatable. I was stuck in exactly the same position about 8 years ago, almost exactly to the day, when I kicked my now ex-husband out of the house.
I put up with so much abuse, mostly emotional and verbal with one incident of physical abuse which broke my coccyx (unfortunately this injury is irreparable and had me sitting on old lady donut cushions from my 30s!
It takes so much bravery to get out. I honestly thought I never would. That he was right about me being a terrible mother and a terrible person, using names I shall not repeat here, but I reached breaking point when we had a massive argument the night before and he sept on the couch. I went to go and kiss him goodbye, but not out of love,. I was hoping he would punch me so that I would have a "real" reason to leave. While this was all going through my head, I realized what this would do t my then almost 5 year old son if his father really did give me a black eye and I realized that I had reached the end of my rope. Till death do us part? I feel like I was dead inside anyway.
It took years to come right, but eventually I started recognizing the woman in the mirror and the light came back into my eyes. Divorce is hard, but sometimes it's the best decision for everyone.
Sorry about the injury you sustained from this.
I currently have a broken tooth from mine. I feel pains once in a while. I don't have the funds to even have them checked out yet
Its not easy I won't lie , but somehow I am at peace that I took the decision to leave because I wouldn't want my kids to get used to that kind of life .
Thank you for sharing your expenses .
Its all similar to mine 🥺
Oh gosh I hate dentists! Well, that's a little harsh, I mean, I don't hate al dentists, I just hate going there. I had an awful experience as a child and it's put me off for life. My mom paid for me to go quite recently: the st time since long before Matthew was born, so about years. My back molar was busy collapsing. I'll have to keep an eye on it and be seriously careful what I chew which by back teeth. We were able to avoid a root canal this time around by reconstruction, but I don't know ow long it will hold. I've found a really nice dentist who is cheaper than most, really good with kids and nervous people like me. Lol. They obviously don't hand out lollipops at the end for bravery, but we do get tooth brushes and toothpaste samples :p
