Need encouragement and accountability...

Wow I remember thinking how alone I felt and how no one would believe me since my husband was so "NICE". Wondering "what did I do"......"what's wrong with me".... I guess there are more people like that than I ever realized. Some of my own family didn't want to believe it.

My parents were here a couple of weeks again and my 75 year old Dad asked about my little Shih Tzu, I told him he died, and my 78 year old Mom popped up and said "Is that the one "he" kicked across the room"?

......my jaw dropped, I turned red and I said yep how did you know about that, she said I knew more than you realized. Whew....validation again!

I've been reading this thread with a lot of interest and am so glad to see the outcome was a good one but I would also add that fasting without complete knowledge could be dangerous. I will also say living with an abusive husband can also be dangerous. You think you can change them but you can't.
I've been married to the most wonderful human being in the world for 33 years now but it was not true the first time around. They don't change!
And also it's not always the guys. My son was married to an abusive wife. Even though she was small and he's not (and he's a deputy) it can still happen. Because he wouldn't hit back. If he had he might have really hurt her so he just took it. Until he walked out with the kids and started a new life. She doesn't even see the kids now and they are almost grown.
Life is strange. I just ask that all of you take care of yourselves. Life is wonderful and to be celebrated every day. Now I'm gonna go kiss my chickens!
