It is reassuring to learn that others' experiences are similar to mine. I intend to read the rest of your story.

My ordeal took place over a ten year period. It ended 30 years ago. I was lucky. Less than a year after our final separation I met the woman I have been with ever since.

I am writing the whole story. Like yours, it will be in several parts. If you are interested, I will tag you when I publish.
