Welcome to you, no judgement here, you do as you feel you must, if you need a place to vent, want to talk, need a shoulder to cry on, someone to say great job or some other lillte pep talk then you have come to the right place.
I lived with a self-absorbed prycho for many many years, I am not proud of the abuse I tolerated, but I believe that when the time was right God got me out of there and helped me meet the wonderful woman I am married to today.
Please remember you can send me a note anytime, I promise you that I will repsond only with hugs and words of encouragement.
Big bear hugs to you and your little ones, I will say a prayer for all of you.
Bill
