Turning points

There has always been a strong faith in my core. I can't explain the faith that guides me more than this. 'I believe' Now let me explain this faith. When I was a girl something awful happened to me. I was attacked by a man who should have been a friend. In fact he wasn't. I was attacked for months at a time until it ended.
It was then I entered the world of 'Golden Eagle' a character I made up to soothe and ease the pain. A character who would rush in and save the day. It replaced my parents to the point they hauled me before a shrink, and that shrink in turned called me A.D.D.
Funny?
That was a huge moment, but another one happened. The day I would first meet Jacob Holcomb. What understanding he had in his heart. Yes, we didn't believe the same things, but we could reach common grounds. When I suffered from post traumatic stress. He told me frankly 'I want to be with you, and only you. if you want to be with other people then I'm not going to be your boyfriend' I had dark thoughts. We all do. I roleplayed on games those dark thoughts, but I never wanted to cheat physically on him. He was my soul mate. He understood me better than I could understand myself.....He was the first one I told of the cruel abuse.....For a while the only one....
Then or marriage came....the world was bright....my mom's kiss on my cheek. "I hope I created a good memory for you"  It was and still to this day remains one of the best memories of my mother...
Then her death......
My mind turns to the times we supported and helped each other. Jake has helped me, and I him.....now...he doesn't think Marriage is forever....he wants the chance for other things....he isn't sure he wants a divorce a year from now or five

I take a bath trying to wash ...this time I closed the door....no longer inviting him in.....I'm done.. He then asks what do we do or tell friends?

I'm done....

He wanted me to repair friendships here in SA......the truth is I feel he wanted me to repair HIS friendships...
I feel betrayed I was brought back here to fix a marriage he doesn't really want....

I'm done...

and yet....

How could we forget those ancient myths that stand at the beginning of all races--the myths about dragons that at the last moment are tranformed into princesses. Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are only princeses waiting for us to act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.

So you must not be frightened if a sadness rises before you larger than any you've ever seen, if an anxiety like light and cloud shadows moves over your hands and everything you do. You must realize that something has happened to you; that life has not forgotten you; it holds you in its hands and will not let you fall. Why do you want to shut out of your life any uneasiness, any miseries, or any depressions? For after all, you do not know what work these conditions are doing inside you.

~Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
