Worditude: THE SURVIVOR: Submitted to Poets & Storytellers United, and to dVerse April 25, 2021 ****************** THE SURVIVOR She left in disarray, thoughts ...
I've been thinking a lot about my late maternal aunt and the abuse she endured at her first husband's hands. To describe him, he sounds like a work of fiction because he is that intensely awful. But he was very, very real.
I'm glad my aunt's second marriage was to someone much better. She made my Uncle Fred wait 13 years before she was finally able to trust him enough to say "yes." He took care of her up to the end of her life when she developed dementia and needed round-the-clock care that was more than he could provide because she would go wandering.
I am glad that your aunt's second marriage was so much better - and not surprised she waited.
