Some People Said Our Marriage Wouldn’t Survive The Trauma.
I Can Prove That They Were Very Wrong.
I never expected to get married, and nobody else expected it either.
I had spent many long years drifting in and out of toxic and abusive relationships I saw being married as a prison sentence, and I told everyone that I’d never do it.
I met my future husband in 1998, and my views changed drastically.
We had brought the subject up after we met in a hospital where we were both trying to recover from mental health problems.
We had both been going through a lot of trauma at the time, but this story isn’t about that; it is about why people were wrong when they said that our marriage wouldn’t last.
I won’t paint our relationship in rose-tinted glasses, because no relationship comes without difficult times. However, people hold this belief that relationships formed in psychiatric wards amongst patients as wrong, without knowing the full picture which leads to misunderstandings that mental health is being romanticized when it happens.
