I haven't been here much- first computer problems, and now just busy with volunteering with the kids schools and what not.
When I first came here I was not sure I was being abused, or if it was all in my head. I have learned so much here and have gotten so much support. About a month ago, something inside of me said "No More." I told my husband he will treat the kids and I with respect and HE is the one that needs to realize how he is acting. HE is at fault- not me, not the kids. His actions are his own and he has to own them. Period. (also, just before I started coming here I found that I have Celiac Disease and started a gluten free diet and feel 100% better). Anyway, since then, yes, there is still abuse- not as often. As soon as it starts, I leave (or tell the kids to leave if they are the target or even in the room). I am taking things back for myself- small things like starting cross-stitching again and jigsaw puzzles. Things I had given up because they took me away from him (blah). So it is a process- where will things be a month from now? Have no idea. But I am reclaiming my life and I'm so happy and thankful for it! Stay strong! Posted on 09/08/08, 03:09 pm |

You should be proud of yourself my friend.Claiming yourself is the hardest thing to do and lots don't get out of the cycle.The ones that do have got to teach those who can't. YAY HUGS
