    I'll explain more later.
    I have a freind, sounds just like her. I'll send a prayer for sure but, sometimes a helluva lot more is required if ya know what I mean.

    If she is believing everything he tells her to make the marriage work, that marriage isn't working at all - not by a long shot.

    I hope she wakes up soon.

    Aww, but it could be so many things. Wide awake or not, there's financial fears, domesic abuse that could be deadly and some people would rather be with a DB than be alone. Cultural issues, the list goes on and on...Sometimes action is in order, it is certainy uncertainable without the facts eh?

    Marriage is a goal she's had for a while. When she met this guy, I thought she had finally figured it out. But no.

    I think there are some self-concept issues here. I have never understood this. Even with all the crap my mom laid on me, I have never believed in a magic pill, or relationship that would cure everything and make it perfect.

    And she wants a baby.

    I know he threatens her and plays on her emotions, at least that is what she has said, yet she denies that is what he is doing. She wants more from life and doesn't understand that her strength comes from within.

    Okay, I'm rambling. It's late. I'll keep y'all updated.

    Oh no!! First of all, self esteem, self respect. Then decide what comes later. Hey, she will make her own decisions, but some good advice may be in order.

    I see. What seems like common sense to my freind usually make no sense whatsoever to me.

    Aww, we had a scheduled outage last night as the city switched its power grid structure, but before that we had a spike that ate two of my surge protectors/plug bars.

    A warning, folks - never ever plug your computer directly into the outlet. A Surge protector is a lot easier to replace than you computer!

    Dear Karen, prayers for your beloved mum-in-law and you and all who love her.

    I think I'm going to work on reverse psychology.

    I was honest with her tonight. He supposedly had an almost rent free house for them. He's working in flooring and the boss had a few houses he could trade rent for work. She finally saw the house today or so she said. She wasn't thrilled but they didn't get to move in.

    I told her point blank that I didn't' trust her husband and that I thought he made all of that up. They were evicted from their trailer because she was the only one working.

    I'm not sure that she believes everything he says, but she wants this to work. So she lies to her friends and family. He's on prescription painkillers, too, and illegally I might add. SIGH.

    She won't listen. Even her sister is posting on FB about making decisions and tagging her.

    I care about her, but the drama is driving me nuts.
