      From Sisterhood August 22

      I'm sixty this year....I've been married a couple times...and been just as wild roudy and useless as my x husbands.....or nearly so....LOL....I also found out there were lots worse things than being alone! What you are discribing is a form of abuse...I've been there...done that....on both ends....because HE DID..and because I COULD...The last was a "Divide and conquor sort of guy....he wanted me away from my family....He wanted me to be under his thumb at all times...He didn't want me to have any money, car, or friends he didn't approve of...He was so good at it I didn't even realize I hadn't even been to a grocery store without him till he was sexually abusive toward my daughter....Now I know that was part of the whole process...He didn't love us..HE owned us....as posessions we were to do what HE wanted at ALL times.... To make long story short...I ran...fast and hard...I got out and got to KNOW me...I'm a pretty good person I like me.....I love my children....and life was loads of fun on my own...till my HP sent me a good guy...to be good and loving to all of us...not try to own or operate us...Just love us.....Learn to love YOU..FIRST...as for your man....It sounds as though he only loves himself..... Hugs Laurel....aka sisterhood
