The Dykes Part Two: Growing Together
Something about finding a partner with whom you feel safe — especially after being abused — can be entrancing. With Dawn and I, and the life we are trying to build together, it is something like dancing to slow classical music through a minefield. Both of our hearts are entwined in one another and the cute, happy light of it permeates the room whenever we are together; but behind the scenes of this happy gleam is a war neither one of us is allowed to walk away from.

The Dykes Part One: Who Are We Now
When you come out of an abusive relationship - in Dawn and I's cases it was abusive marriages - the world isn't an inviting place to exist. Everything is strange and foreign to you in ways that both terrify and confuse you. One the one hand, you are getting used to no longer being abused and it is exciting for a few blissful moments at a time until you realize that you are not being abused and you start waiting for the other foot to drop. That's the other hand - you are always, always, waiting for someone to hurt you and to make things normal again. At the point in time that I moved in with Dawn - we were at different stages in recovery from our exes and at different points of readiness to date again.
