What a cheerful sight this morning, thank you!!!!!

Well, still here with power on and heat! Thank you for good wishes everyone.
MM, if my DH tried to pull that on me,,,,,, well, he just wouldn't dare unless he wanted to be sleeping with the chickens.

Got to sleep in a bit this morning but now it's time to get outside and clear off a roof or two. Still snowing but thankfully it's so cold that it's not the heavy wet stuff.

Oh, you know my new poor rescue kitty? We went to town yesterday to stock up on a few things ahead of the storm and foolish me, I bought a huge stuffed soft ball and a bottle of catnip spray. I now have a stoned cat TEARING thru the house attacking everything it sees (or thinks it sees) DH and the pup have went into hiding

How fun!

hide the catnip LOL!

Beautiful Bunnylady! Thanks for sharing those brightened up my day.

Chicki I'm so happy for you!

I would like to ask for positive thoughts for my oldest DD. I told her to call the police and go to a women's shelter. Everyone has done all they can do for her and then some.
And she needs to help herself. She has never had to stand on her own two feet and work to provide for anyone before. I pray she can do it.

People can do amazing things and change their life when they need to. Hopefully she will get help and counseling to make sure the next Guy is not a monster too

She has to decide to get out and pray she does it before he kills her

So sorry Chicka that you are dealing with this along with your DD. Sadly it is very difficult for a woman to break that cycle without professional help. Most can not help themselves. Most don't recognize that their situation has negative effects that spread out and effect all who are related or close in any way. I hope your (her) situation doesn't have a bad ending, though many/most do.

At least he didn't drop the cup of hot coffee on your foot.

Perhaps instead of something undesirable in his stocking, he could buy you a coffee maker with a timer. You get coffee, he is off the hook and has just a bit more time in the morning to do extra chores

Oooooh! Extra chores!

Thanks Ls. That is what I am most afraid of. I lost my youngest sister at a very young age due to a similar situation.

Amen! I am! It's killing me.... To much anxiety.

I am praying! I keep telling her she can do it! I hope she can find some of ME in her!
I would never put up with anyone hitting me the first time! They would be OVER!

The abuser is a manipulator. It is usually Anti Social personality disorder or Narcissistic personality Disorder. The Abuser is a very Damaged person and that rubs off onto their victim.

Like latestarter said, the victim needs professional help to un tangle the web that has them trapped.

We've been telling her that for a long time. She had a break down at some point.
She started therapy but he would not let her keep going. That is why I keep telling her to go to a women's shelter. They know how to help her.
