Broken Sunshine

I’ve made mistakes.Some of those mistakes have ruined lives, including my own.Because of this, my past is something I have kept to myself, so when I found a woman who also wanted her past to remain hidden, it felt like the universe was pushing us together.It turns out the universe had nothing to do with that.If a person’s past doesn’t exist, the present may not unravel the way it should.I found out the hard way, when I learned that my wife is not who I thought she was…living with a past I should know about.Her continuous self-destructive behaviors let me know she clearly has a plan—possibly one I never should have been a part of.I keep trying to save her, but she’s making it hard.Now, both of our pasts have simultaneously rolled into the spotlight—colliding head-on, and causing the present to come crashing down on top of us.I learned that since our pasts are part of who we are, they will always be the foundation of our present and our future. The question I have is... will either of us walk away in one piece?
