You ‘sound’ much more relaxed and calm….I am so proud of you for taking this difficult step and so happy that you have family to help you out through this difficult time.

Make sure to take some time to yourself too and don’t forget to take care of you.

Keep us posted and best wishes to you and your kids,

Hi Holly,
I am a bit late getting here...

Rainy was right, you DO sound a little calmer for the moment - that is such a blessing after all the turmoil you and your family has been thru.

I just wanted to send along my thoughts and warm hugs for you as well. I was wanting to say "be strong", but it sounds so redundant :rolleyes: . Hold close to your heart the peace and safety of where you are right now, and KNOW that you made all the right decisions...

We're here for ya when ever u wanna talk :D

Take care
Meg

Just sending more hugs. Keep looking out for you. :)

I get chills when I read this board because I am soo not alone.

I really need to understand why we subject ourselves to this kind of crap in the name of LOVE.

Don't we love ourselves? I really am glad that you are going home. I was punched and got a black eye and he didn't even remember doing it. I stayed.....like a FOOL. Anyways, I have kids too, totally relate to you.

Good luck and keep us posted!

Thanks y'all!
I am being as strong as I can under the circumstances. Actually the kids are being wonderful. Very helpful with chores and just getting along much better. That really helps because when they get frazzled it takes so much more out of you. I think they are more relaxed now and not walking around on eggshells anymore.

Meme~ I hope your not being abused as well. It gives me chills thinking that there are so many women out there being abused. Just sickening. I loved myself enough to get my "you know what" out of it. It never stops and usually gets worse. Mix and attitude with alcohol and it spells DISASTER. Everytime. I'm a very calm person most of the time. I hate conflict and I really hate to argue all of the time. So this relationship was making me depressed and now I'm not sad or mad. I'm just content and I like it. Actually I love it. I feel peaceful for the moment so I'm cherishing every minute of it.


Take care and God Bless each of you.
Holly
