Disclaimer- I own nothing *sob*
Jim was the only one who understood. When Jocelyn left me she took everything from me. She called them her "little goodbyes". When I left that morning I didn't know that anything was wrong. I know that that might sound bad but she never let on to anything.
But in all honesty how was I supposed to know when she was mad if she was always mad. I remember when we first married she was the perfect wife. She kissed me every morning when I went to work and when I got home she would smile at me and ask how my day had been.
But she started to change after Joanna was born. She started yelling at me all the time. And she didn't do jack shit to help with Joanna. I did everything. Then as my baby girl started growing up I would take her to the park everyday just so she wouldn't have to be around that witch of a mother.
But when Jocelyn would go out in public she would be amazing to me. She would smile and laugh at all my jokes; she would even occasionally kiss me. But that hurt more than her anger; because I knew that it wasn't real she was only pretending. When we would get home from she would immediately start yelling, she didn't even wait until Joanna was asleep.
She would yell at me about how I didn't talk enough or too much. But the worst part was when she would hit me. I know it was weak but I couldn't defend myself not when I knew I deserved it.
But then she left me. And she took Joanna even though I fought her for custody I still lost and that was the final straw, I gave up.
I enlisted in star fleet and met Jim. He was cocky and smug [still is] but he was also sweet. When he looked at me he didn't see the pathetic drunk that I was instead he saw who I could become.
He brought me out of the deep dark shadows of my mind and helped me realize my worth again. He told me that I had a new start and that I needed to use it to my full advantage. So when he presented me with the opportunity to have him, to have something great, I took his advice. I jumped in head first and while I readily admit that there have been hard times I know that we'll get through them together.
