    Please check in Gayle. I keep checking this thread to see if you've posted. I'm getting very worried. I can't get these abusive men off my mind that we currently know about on this board. It's just horrid!! No one should have to live like that. I hope you're safe and he's somewhere else. If I were in better health right now, I would be asking a few of you if you would like a Florida vacation, perhaps permanently.

    I've been Boo'd...
    Thanks Barry!

    Thanks all for your concern. I couldn't get access till now. He's promised no more drinking and has held to that the last couple of days. I am weighing my options now.

    Gayle - please give a call to Al-Anon. If this guy has a history of drinking, quitting on his own will be 'white-knuckle', and he will snap at some point and go on a bender if he is a real alcoholic.

    One option - just a suggestion - is to go live on your own til he proves he is recovered and sober. If he can stay sober for a year, that is a good sign.

    But - my question - why stay with someone who already has hurt you physically, and badly? I get a bad feeling because I don't think you posted that he was back...because you felt uneasy? Because we would get upset here on PT? There is a good reason we would get upset, hon.

    JMO - you are living with a time bomb.

    You went thru hell with this guy before, and I hope staying there is NOT one option you are considering.

    I hope you are weighing your options with the help of a counsellor, women's centre, or other.

    hugs!

    *Hugs* Gayle, I hope everything works out for the best, whatever you decide to do. You've got lots of friends here if you need anything.

    Thank you Wolf_Q!

    I agree with Catty1.

    Wishing you the best way out of this bad situation. It's hard to leave, but much worse to stay.
    "We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam

    "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien

    Gayle, I am not sure what you are thinking right now but I can tell you that before I moved to Washington I lived in Calgary for a number of years. During that time I did some work with the Calgary Women's shelter and it is a good organization. They can help you either by providing you with temporary shelter or referral to someone to talk with.

    Please contact them. Here is their website
