My name is Dolly, and I am on a journey of self‑discovery and fulfillment. After an 11‑year marriage that broke down, I made the difficult decision to leave. I acknowledge that I made some mistakes—especially in how I handled the separation—due to my own ignorance at the time. However, I chose my mental health over enduring abuse and a lack of peace.
For the past two years, he has denied me access to my sons—no calls, no visits, nothing. It’s been absolute hell. Still, I’m determined to rise above this, become a better version of myself, and find work and projects that keep me moving forward and busy.
