Those old posts sure give me a kick in the butt when I need one. I've taken that man back soooooooo many times. I can see his progression in my posts. And the posts aren't even the half of it!! Just what I am willing to confess! I always thought he was getting better and actually "trying this time". Then--the NEXT post-- ANGER and frustration at yet another lie! Funny if you see the timing between them-- the "on again/off again" pattern and how every time I took him back things got a little bit worse with each drinking episode. I am kind of thankful he got violent or I'd be with him right now. It took that night to FINALLY wake me up. And rereading that ONE post keeps me from taking him back yet again and potentially saves my life every time!
