Those two make a big difference. Ten years ago I was broke, in an abusive marriage, and still trying to work out a bunch of personal issues.
Today, I have an awesome (different) wife, a job I don't hate where I make good money, kids that I love, and a place to call home.
There's still rough days. Those are part of life. But I am a very fortunate man and even when I have a bad day, I remember that it used to be and could be way, way worse.
It's good you were able to get out of that abusive situation and into something better. Congratulations, my friend :)
