wilkswrites,
Congrats on winning the Epiphany Contest. Your story is revelatory as many women experience what you have described here. I'm sorry you had to experience those levels of disrespect in your life. Believe it or not even some men experience such disrespect from family members, close friends and wives who say they love them. Thank you for sharing.
All the best,
Eugene

Wow, that was quite a write. The one about your childhood was the saddest and most difficult to read.
Some proofreading suggestions:
I am so done with her! <= insert a paragraph break here
X-husband <= did he have superpowers like the other X-men? If not, he's an ex-husband.
to share a concern I have with him concerning my daughter's saftey <= safety
and chatise me <= chastise
That quiet, stupid, non-defensive behavoir <= behavior, or if you're English: behaviour (I think)
Thank you for the read,
🦍

Ciao mystery writer, you have your first vote.
I'm glad to see that you have stopped letting people wipe their feet on you as if you were a doormat.
I still haven't managed to rid myself of certain toxic friends.
Maybe because I have so few ...but if they systematically use
me what kind of friendship is that? : just one-sided.
Not speaking up is like permitting them to take advantage, and they sure do.
I am a fool ...I'm always ready to help out but if I need a hand, my so-called friends are busy. It's years I don't even bother to ask.
Enjoy your new ME.

After reading your well written story, I can only say, that people around us, often take advantage of who we are. I think you do need to talk to someone, perhaps get some professional help...From what you have said, I believe you have allowed others to cause you to forget that you are somebody too...Being nice is a very good thing, trying to help others is also good, but you have forgotten
yourself...and that's not good...I've had some difficulties too, but, and I know not everyone feels this way, but when I realized that there is a loving God, that knows and loves me, Wow!, I became a different person, knowing the greatness of the Almighty, and believing in Him, was the best thing I could have done for myself...I would never try and tell you what to do, but there is indeed a God, and at my age, I can seriously say, if not for my Faith in Him, I would be lost.
Whoever you are, go see someone, to me you're still young enough to enjoy the rest of your life, loving who you are..There's nothing wrong with that at all..
Here's a big Hug, just take it and know I mean you well!

I thought your reflections are both raw and powerful. It's so nice to read that you are recognizing past hurts and embracing a new sense of self worth. Your experiences with people who didn't value you have clearly shaped your understanding of what you deserve and what you're no longer willing to tolerate. I think that's great. And you share it so well. Your writing is solid. This is well written. Keep celebrating your newfound liberation!

Ouch. I feel as if I was a priest hearing a confessional. That's a lot of dislike you had in the past. I only hope expressing it here gave you peace
so you can move on more positively..
