    A year and a half or longer of being scared and not feeling in control sure can take a toll, I hope she listens too Friend. I just can't imagine that pain and agony...

    I responded, thanks for posting the link M. She needs support, she also needs to realize that guys like him never change, they love the power way too much.

    I feel for her, and her little girl who knows more and feels more than she even realizes. He may not harm her physically, but mentally he's inflicting a lot of damage on her.

    I've been in abusive relationships, heck, one Mr. Wonderful put my head through the windshield of his car because I wouldn't have sex with him. I was 15. The windshield broke, he got madder and proceeded to beat me until I couldn't walk. I still have the scar on my forehead from that incident, thank goodness my hair covers it well. ;)

    Okay, apparently I feel like sharing dark secrets. Sorry. :(

    I can't even respond to that now. It's been a not so good day. I'll make sure I do though, just not right now.

    Yeah, thanks Alty. I'm fine. Just had an awful day, and I would likely just give very bad advice if I went there right now. I don't know what's wrong with me today, but I just can't deal with it. I'm going to try and get some sleep and get a grip. I don't know. Maybe it's this damn weather. I just feel overwhelmed with everything. I just need some sleep I guess. :(

    I'll maybe give you a call tomorrow sometime okay? Goodnight, sleep well,. and I'm going to try and do the same! ;)

    Ditto here, I have to get up at, gulp, 5:30am to drive Wiggy to school. Trucks in the shop, no money to pay for the repairs right now.

    Life sucks, but death sucks more. ;)

    Night all!

    If I remember right, every time I wake up at 5 I feel way better than I do waking up at 6:45 or 7... why?

    5 Sneeze? You go to bed at 5am?

    Alty, we all have our stuff... its all right to share it;)

    I have been in a custody battle with my ex, who has some mental handicaps and it really has been a living heck... but thankfully today we had a pretrial conference that went really well and it looks like they will be granting sole custody in the next couple weeks. I am just excited.

    I am in the US, Illinois actually. I have two children, but only one involved in this custody battle. My ex was in a coma for 60+ days from contracting meningitis from the vaccinations you receive in boot camp, it left him 100% cognatively impaired, but he won't ever have to work again, so it was very difficult to compete with someone who has so much free time, heave income and can't make rational decisions.

    It's been a long process. Lots of ups and downs. I think my life story could sell a lot of books, it's like a soap opera. I am hoping that this gives some peace, except in Illinois he can have custody reevaluated every two years, so I might just be back in this boat in two more years.
