Save Yourself

Professional women are often very highly accomplished. They have completed their education and have one or more degrees. They have achieved business success, oftentimes in positions of leadership at the workplace. They have mastered the ability to balance their professional lives with their innate sense to be Super Parents of their children. A public success, yes! But privately, she struggles – daily. The man that she fell in love with years ago is gone – not physically, but emotionally. Her mate ignores her. He is disinterested in her accolades. He is oblivious to her need for companionship. He doesn’t feel her pain. He takes her parenting skills for granted, and she should be a great parent anyway. She’s the one who wanted those babies. As time passes, she loses herself in the routine. She’s a master of everything, including masking her unhappiness. From the outside looking in, they are the perfect couple. He’s always smiling and upbeat, without a care in the world. He comes and goes as he pleases, or not. He spends less and less time with her, and he only speaks to her when absolutely necessary. Year after year, she says she’s leaving, and she means it this time for real. She’s told her family, but they don’t want to hear about it anymore, unless she’s going to actually do it. Her friends have all been told she’s getting out of this nightmare. They smile and want to believe her, but a year goes by, and she is still there. Then one day, she decides to save herself, and this time, she doesn’t change her mind.
