Welcome to the SR family!

Pull out your keyboard and make yourself at home. You can post and read anytime you feel the need.

What gave me the gumption?

I finally got sick and tired of being sick and tired. I re-read my journals and the cycle kept repeating itself. Nothing was changing because I wasn't changing. I kept accepting unacceptable behavior.

I realized that his happiness was not more important than mine and our children.
I realized that his comfort was not more important than ours.
I realized that his needs were not more important than ours.

I wanted a relationship that was open, honest, forthright, and a relationship that respected me as an equal partner in life.

I wanted my children to know that our peace and serenity were important enough to me to make a stand. To make positive changes in our lives.

I want my children to know that I believe they are important and deserve a life of love and respect.
