My emotionally/psychologically abusive husband, of 30 plus years has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. I’ve been blessed: without any plan or struggle I innately reframed my decades of thinking. He needs me. My mantra is “make the best of this very moment”. I somehow created allegorical stories, totally void of any judgement or negativity, that told how anyone (him) can reflect, tweak their approach to life, and discover strengths they have can use for a greater good.
His doc says the cancer is totally treatable.
They say these situations show what you’re made of.
Our house is now amazingly peaceful. HE HAS EXPRESSED GRATITUDE FOR HELPING HIM TO LEARN MORE ABOUT HIMSELF.
Our dynamic has changed, without any struggle. I will not tolerate abuse but I will stand by him, be his foundation, for as long as he shows respect and appreciation.
Life can teach us amazing things!
