My first thought when reading the beginning was, “please teach me how you went from losing everything to making more in a month than I do in a year.”
The second was compassion for the abuse and medical challenges. I too struggled with severe and excruciating endometriosis. My daughter was a miracle baby after 17 years of marriage.
The third thought was, Lori is a seer through lived experience. You are writing a foreshadowing of your past for what I believe will be our American future. You’re confirming my visions. Unfortunately, I don’t yet know a safer place to live, do you? Where do you live now, May I ask? For some reason I thought perhaps you were in Canada.
Lastly, you are a fascinating woman with a rich history and gifted storytelling skills. I’m always grateful I read your pieces. Thank you for taking the time to share your wisdom with us— especially when you struggle with MCAS.
OMG! What horrendous experience! It displays the worst of humanity, the hypocrisy that exists in Christianity and the lowest form of humanity. It also shows the resilience of the human spirit through your journey. Blessings and joy for you.
This is a fascinating story. Having survived a past marriage of enabling a drug addicted, bipolar suffering dependent (without the extreme violence) I relate. I'm not Christian but try to follow a Buddhist philosophy with a dose of Stoicism. I look forward to the next writing.
My goodness, dear Lori! You’ve lived some life!!

Ps. I hope you divorced your abuser. 🫂

I could only wish for the same level of courage that you live.
Good on you, Lori. Truth Sharing sets us free.
