I Miss my Smile
I am a 48 year old single mother. I spent 18 years in an abusive relationship. A relationship I found the ability and courage to leave three years ago. Eight years ago, my ex threw a oak log at me as I ran from him. The log struck me in the back of my head. Splitting my head like a dropped watermelon and knocking me unconscious. When I fell forward I was unconscious and unable to put my hands out and protect my face. The faceplant knocked my front teeth out and left a few scars on my face. I haven't smiled since.
