Finding love after an abusive, toxic, unhealthy relationship

I know its totally cringe and annoying to say, but I get this question a lot! "Jess, how did you find real love after your abusive marriage? Do you have any advice"? Ok, I am not love expert but I do have advice that I feel can absolutely help guide you to finding real, genuine, love again and not repeat that cycle of abuse. Spoiler alert... you have to do some work... annnnd it will most likely take more time than you want it to. Im a firm believer that love is out there for anyone who really wants it. Call me a hopeless romantic or delusional I don't care, you're not changing my mind. I believe it because I've experienced it first hand.
Did I make mistakes along the way? Yes. Did I have to kiss a few frogs to find my "prince charming"? Sure did. If you want love, you CAN and will find it. Just give yourself some grace along the way.
