This isn’t COVID-19, what I’m experiencing. My life has been pushed pause on, but really I have no idea what this pandemic is like.

I can admit to a lot of things but I refuse to admit that my marriage ending because of cheating. Liam and I have been together for a decade. I’ve said it before and it remains true.
It is no secret that I was into partying in my teens and early 20s. I have not only smoked but advocated for weed. I’ve experimented with drugs. Liam and I reconciled. And I was committed.”
