Defining Moments
“Although not always consciously, I’ve been pondering every aspect of the life I’ve lived. I’ve questioned every good moment with Justin, every promise, every “I love you,” every little thing. When I realize that I am finding no answers and only succeeding in making myself upset all over again for the things he’s done, I gradually start to understand that maybe Cord was right. Maybe I’m not over what happened between me and Justin, and slowly but surely, I begin to see that the life Justin and I... had built together was not based on love like I’d always thought.
Justin and I had married because I’d been pregnant. I accept that now. As much as I hate to admit it, even to myself, we were just a couple of kids, getting ready to have kids of our own, and the only thing we knew to do was make it right by getting married. I’d made myself believe for a very long time that we had been in love, but the truth was, we were both just surviving the best way we knew how. I threw myself into being a mother to our beautiful babies, and Justin, well, he survived our marriage by jumping into the beds of other women.MoreLess
