Hun-I do the same. I read my journal from start to finish the other night-took over an hour and a half....I literally caught myself wincing, shaking and crying multiple times. Oh my God it was bad-and oh my God was my husband Satan himself/he's abused our kids for years-and I was blind, or in denial or both. Friend-you did what you had to do but thank God your kids have you. You are one great momma, and I'm proud to call you my friend! Don't look back too much (I tell myself this too); don't feel any shame over what you did or didn't do (I tell myself this daily). You made the best decisions you could loving in crazy town.
