Melancholy Tears: A Memoir on Depression and Domestic Abuse

Memories still haunt me, although not quite as vividly. Early in the relationship he treated me kindly. We had a mutual appreciation for each other's company and shared a penchant for alcohol. What happens when one spouse wants to move on and grow spiritually? Who decides on the terms of repentance and marital vows? I remained a chaste bride, devoid of my husband's soul. I ran into the arms of the Lord to rescue me from despair.
I don't proclaim absolute innocence in the matter of domesticity. My failures are still part of me. I only hope to tell a story.
