Hey girl

I will respect your wishes and not talk about it unless you want to.

Let me just say that I am glad you are okay. I have been praying for you and all the decisions you had to make.

I also want to say that if you want to talk just let me know and I will be here.

Momma, I am going to tell you again that as young, idealistic, and resilient as I am, I would not have stopped seeing who's his cock. I miss him. I wish that he would come to my door drunk again in the middle of the night when the bar closes and he wants company before he crashes. I can no longer blame you for staying with somebody that mistreats you, because I have kissed the lips of an unfair and harmful relationship and long for them again. But I love you very much, and despite what you expect from yourself, despite what you believe, I know that you are a strong woman who will eventually be triumphant in your pursuit of love and affection.

I'm glad to hear from you! I'm just now getting a chance to read, and had wondered what had happened. When you hadn't written for a while, I kind of thought maybe you and your husband had patched things up.

I'm like Mary and will respect your wishes, I totally understand, and the one thing I learned working at the spouse abuse center was to say "if that was me I would be out of there". There's so much more that goes on than we know.

If you ever need to talk, I'm sure we'll be there to listen.

Great that your son got such a good job at his age, and poohy on the rich mom that neglected her kids. Of course you know her comment was made because you hit home with your comments. I say bump her, and you can bet she won't leave her kids in the car again.
