Day 10: Still Not Free, But Still Moving Forward

💔 Day 10: Still Not Free, But Still Moving Forward

Today was supposed to bring closure — or at least a step closer. But like so many days in this process, I walked out of court with no final answers. Just another delay. Another appointment. Another holding pattern. Mediation. October. No resolution.

He still won’t agree to give me half of what *we* built together. Not what *he* built. What *we* built. With my love. My time. My sacrifices. My whole damn soul.

I’m not angry. 
I’m not even sad anymore. 
Just... disappointed.

Because at one point, he admitted it. That it was his fault. That he let people twist his mind, break our foundation, convince him to turn his back on me. He admitted it — and still, no apology that meant something. No restitution. Just avoidance and silence.

And yet...

Today someone read my blog and said it resonated. 
*It helped.* 
*It made her feel seen.*

And in that moment — all the legal chaos, the betrayal, the emotional exhaustion — it didn’t win. Because this voice, my story, is no longer just mine.

It’s reaching people. It’s creating something out of everything that tried to break me.

So no, I’m not free yet.

But I’m moving forward. 
And *we're* doing something, aren’t we?

Because even on days where I feel like the system is holding me back… I’m still here. Still rising. Still *me.*

📣 If today’s post resonated with you, I’d love to hear from you. Feel free to share this blog or leave a comment. Healing is always more powerful when we don’t do it alone.
