description: My story exists because of one man who in this book I call Danny Wallace. He opened my eyes to a world of passion and love but he also introduced me to a lot of other things. I invite you to explore the twisted thoughts of me losing my mind trying to leave my abusive husband. I made a spontaneous (and an actually good) decision to join the Navy. Which lead to me making a lot of other spontaneous and less-wise decisions. By that I mean there was a lot of meaningless-sex self-pity-booze and violent fantasies involved. When I chose to make a fresh start and to no longer live in the past something awful happened and I started spiraling again. I attempted to be the perfect mom and model sailor but shit happens. By some miracle my awkward strange self became friends with awesome people who admired me for being me. I enjoyed my life without any fear of anyone or anything. For the first time I saw myself as my own person. Not just my moms daughter my sisters sister or my husbands wife. I am me and I am strong. I had potential to make myself whatever I wanted without being held back by anyone. Eventually I healed. Not completely though. Bondage will never be fun for me ever again being eaten-out is going to have to be a distant memory and I will always doubt a man who claims to be a good guy. Yet somehow I feel like it was all worth it. Maybe it was meant to happen. Perhaps joining the Navy and leaving my home town is how I will someday find exactly what Ive been looking for since the day I met Danny a happy ending.
