    I think that what you did was wonderful. I don't think you will ever know how much it must have meant to that woman - you probably offered her a lifeline that she never had. Can you just imagine what she is going through? It must be so comforting to know that a neighbor just a few doors away would help her if need be.

    That was very kind of you to stop in & check on her. Since you are aware of the situation, you can at least keep an eye out for signs of trouble when you go by. I agree that abused women need support and may not get it from their families, so simple gestures of friendship probably mean more to her than you can imagine. You did good.

    He has moved back into the house.

    I am naive enough to think this could maybe be the wake up call he needs, and smart enough to know one time is usually not the pattern presented.

    Oprah devoted her entire show today to the subject of Domestic Violence.
    This woman was on to tell her story. Her husband had actually forced the
    13 yr son to film the woman's beatings. They showed parts of the taping.
    It showed the gritty truth of this woman & children's abuses. It was a
    powerful show.

    I remember that one or a very similar one on one of those 20/20 type shows last year. Horrible!

    Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.
