Dear ex

Never told anyone this--but tired of holding it in. Just wanted to tell you how happy I am, and how strong you have made me. 
I remember the night I first met you, I was getting over the guy I was truely inlove with. And you insisted on talking to me at the gym. We dated for 2 months then I found out about your addiction to steroids. You told me you would stop, and you did for 2 months and started again. That's when everything turned for the worse--why did you have to force me to have sex with you? all the time? Even when I tried to stop you? Why when we using play fight, I would end up with bruises that weren't so playful. I tried to even leave you and you threatened to kill yourself, and showed me the needles? But I tried to help you. Why did you have to make my life so horrible? Then after I left you, you continued to try to get me back. Only thing is your life got worse. I tried to make mine better. 
But now those years have passed I can say I'm truely happy with the man I knew I was inlove with when you distracted me from the pain I was having with him. We've been together going on 4 years-known each other since 2010, and within those 4 years we've gone threw it all. With a misscarriage in 2013 which really tested our relationship, to having a beautiful daughter born on April 4th,2015. So I want to say thank you ex for showing me what bad men are, because I'm with the best guy that treats me like you never did. Who has blessed me with the gift of being a mother.
