      I'm feeling just a little sad today.  I don't know why, I just am.  I did all my usual things today, kids, work, kids, housework, …

      From julieacarter July 13

      It sounds so complicated. It is amazing how much we can actually endure and be okay. My husband came over this morning and everything got really ugly and I had to call the police which I hate doing but I hate being hit. Tomorrow he is coming back but police have to be here at same time so I am not looking forward to my day off from work. Will be glad when it is all over. I do not know what is going to go on from one day to the next but never in my life have seen anybody with a temper as violent as his. I cannot believe that I fell in love with this man. How could I have not seen through him? Thank you for being here. I cannot talk to anyone about this as I am so ashamed and do not want coworkers to know. I am sure they know something is up as I have came to work with bruises and dislocated jaw. My family is supportive but I feel like my problems have been a burden on them. You want to be a good example for your children but I fell like I have let them down. I hope tomorrow is a better day for both of us. God bless.

      I see what you mean. It appears as though he is just using her for monetary support and to hurt you as well. I know she is going to be going through the same thing that you are before long. Your children are actually caught in the middle so no matter what you do as far as denying them the chance to spend the summer with their father could actually backfire against you if they are close to this woman and care for her. They could actually turn against you as if you are the one causing the problem. My ex-husband's live-in is very nice. I hated her at first but she is very good to my girls and their children. I know what she lives with and I actually do not hate her because of this. I feel sorry for her. She believes that she has the love of her life and of course I know that she is being abused just as I was. I think if someone can love our children and accept them and make them feel like they are loved in spite of what is going on they have to be commended for that. We at least want these other women to love our children. It would be unbearable to watch if they were mistreated. You obviously have a very good heart or you would not feel the way that you do but it is her fault if she loses everything that she has because she knew what you had to put up with. I can tell by your messages that you are a good person and whatever you think is best for your kids is the right thing to do. Hang in there and I will say a prayer for you.

      She will see the light one of these days when her money is all gone. I married what I thought was the man of my dreams after I got divorced after 22 years of marriage. How naive I was! This person was only after what I acquired and worked very hard for all those years. I soon realized it after only a few months of marriage but will pay the price for a long time. We are so vulnerable and trusting in our lives when we are feeling our lowest and these guys will pray on our vulnerability. We can only become stronger and learn from our mistakes. Hang in there and be strong. You are so much better than they are and will eventually come out on top.

      I am so sorry! You need to tell your attorney. That is wrong and you do not deserve this! No you are not being old fashioned! Where are their morals?

      My stbx is living with his first cousin and doesn't see anything wrong with it. He's never dealt with anything in his life! Weird twist, I like her, my kids adore her. She walked into an already bad situation. She herself was quite vulnerable and he took advantage of her low self esteem. He has wreaked havoc on every one in both families with this. No she is not innocent, but I know she was somehow "convinced" that this was okay. He has a way about him like that. It's creepy.

      I can see him now for who and what he truly is.

      It has been difficult for everyone. I get input from all sides. I pick what I need, not necessarily what I want. My dad has been a huge support.
