hey Ang...I'm so so sorry it's come to this, but you know - your safety and the kids welfare have to come first.

So proud of you not drinking

Hi Angie.

I know the pain your feeling. It is really hard. But Dee is right. You have to do this for your safety and your children. Life will get easier for you again. You'll see. And, I am so proud of you for not drinking. You have a lot of strength and courage in you.
You don't know how proud i am of you. It makes me real happy to see another woman get help.

Barb

Hi Ang,

I know it hurts...It particuarly was painful for me because I couldn't fix him...

Just remember, abuse is never justified...

Thinking of you...

That's good news to hear Angie. You are amazing! Enough crap to deal with and you ARE NOT DRINKING. THAT is admirable.

You rock.
