((((Misti)))) Keep checking in OK? We're all so worried about you!
((((Liss))))) Everyone else said it so well. It doesn't sound like he is a very good man, and especially not to you. I'd go so far as to say he is an emotional abuser. Yet, I completely understand your attachment. All of my life I have been attracted to men who are not very good for me and hang on to them for ages after realizing that. WTF? We're not stupid women. Just goes to show you how powerful those tides within are.
Also thank you for offering your help with my daughter. She has so many things going on that I am right now trying to get her into the kid's mental health centre at the hospital for an assessment. I'll keep you posted.
As for finances -- do you have a paypal account? Maybe whoever is able can chip in a little to help you out, Liss. If you do have one, just PM the account #.
(((Brynn))) I'm so sorry you have to go through this at all.
I'm feeling down myself today. No one particular reason.
Hugs to all the mamas (and non-mama friends!)
