      Hi sweetie, You are right it is no good to have a man control you and I have let this man control me for 8 yrs. It is getting better because I have actually been standing up for myself lately and he is respecting me for it. He even told me that. He has gotten alot better throgh the yrs the way he treats me. He used to hit me but hasn't laid a finger on me in yrs and our fights that used to be everyday are now like every few months. He definitely has been trying and I have too. So how have you been doing? Have you done anything fun yet with the weather getting nicer? Its going to be nice all week here in Oregon where I live and Im looking forward to it. Well girl, it is good to heare from you and you can write anytime-I would love to hear from you. TAke care and God bless you. Sincerely, Michelle
