You’re being patient, kind, and understanding, a “good Christian woman.” But inside, you’re tired. Somewhere along the way, you may have started believing things that were never actually true.

Maybe you've started wondering if the relationship you're in (or just left) is actually healthy, even though you can't quite name what's wrong.
