It's OVER

[Karen]

Thanks everyone for your kind words and support. I was mostly doing ok today, but now I'm feeling...really I don't know. Just sad. Very, very sad.

It's okay to be sad, sweetie. Change is hard, even a change for the better. Sending you big hugs, and people from my church are praying for you, too. So if you feel hugs coming from way back East, that'd be us! The physical bruises will heal way quicker than the emotional ones, you can expect some up days and some down days, but remember that we love you, and this is a good thing. Tell Sasha to give you a kiss, it's from me!

I agree with Karen- the physical bruises will heal quicker.. It took me I would say a year before raised voices did not scare me- knowing what would come next- but then one day I realized something totally in my heart- I AM SAFE- AND ALTHOUGH THINGS MAY NOT BE RIGHT- I AM SAFE- AND THINGS ARE getting better in tiny ways.. Look at the little things- not the big.. Example- our first week alone- me and my daughter, I went shopping at walmart and we bought spaculas.. ( yes - the things that turn eggs).. Well- we had a spacula party in the house.. lol.. Look at the little- it works..
