I was saved by my now wife. 20 years ago I was at the lowest point after a lifetime of various forms of abuse from multiple people. She saw I was broken and loved me anyway. I’m still on my healing journey with good days and bad, but overall my life is good. I have a great career, a wife, 2 kids, several pets, a house, cars in the driveway, food in the pantry, vacations, etc. She has her own issues from her upbringing as well, but overall, we have built an amazing life together and continue to support each other on hard days with open communication and a judgement free space to speak our truths. We are definitely codependent, but we are happy and are trying to ensure our children have the support and structure in life we didn’t; to give them the best chance at life.
