Where I'm at now...something positive

[Pembroke_Corgi]

I just wanted to send you some encouragement and support. I'm sorry that you have to go through this and I'm also very sorry to hear about losing your beloved dog, Sasha.

My dad was very emotionally and verbally abusive. My mom was married to him for 29 years, but when I was 15, we moved out. That was quite a long time ago now, but my mom has never once regretted it (neither have I). Very soon after leaving, my mom and I had a chance to regain self-confidence and happiness with life. I'm certain this will happen to you, too. (((hugs)))

Group hugs for you:





And one extra big one:



I hope you get some rest tonight, even if you don't sleep. You've been through one of the toughest, getting your stuff out of the old place and into your new one. You are doing all the right things.

You know we are here for you.

Please feel better soon You are slowly getting back on your feet Keep on going!

I am glad you decided to leave him. I am sorry about you missing Sasha but she will be your guardian angel forever. My thoughts and prayers are with you. (((hugs)))

Maybe in some time, Sasha will send you a little puppy she's picked out for you. Then you won't be alone. I wish you all the best every day. Try to be as strong as you've ever been. We're all pulling for you. I know what it's like.

Have you tried Melatonin for sleep? You can get it just about anywhere but definitely at health food stores or pharmacies. I used to take it and it helped quite a bit.

...and to think that I'm only a 10 hour drive away. I wish I could be there is help you through this but all I can do is pray for you and send you {{{hugs}}}

Thanks everyone, again. I am so glad I can come here and leave feeling better. I chatted for 40 minutes with my mom, she is great to talk to but when she's gone I find I miss her. I'll have the kittens back tomorrow so that may help a lot.

I forgot to tell you all I saw my doctor this afternoon and got all my cuts and bruises documented. Yes I am still banged up a week later. We had a very good conversation, over an hour.

Gayle, I can get into the city any time. When Cali and Diego get home, and you are up to it, call me. I will call you also in the next couple of days...coffee and me listening are fine by me.

I'm really upset to learn that his mother thinks I make up his drinking and abuse. Her son doesn't drink and drive, drink and fall down, drink and abuse his wife.

[Scooter's Mom]

Re: his mother... It's hard for a parent to believe something so awful about their child. She is having a hard time believing she could raise someone with the ability to do such things.

I have never been in your situation, but my grandmother was. My grandfather was an alcoholic who abused her. She finally left, but not before years of abuse...

Sending you big, gentle hugs all the way from Phoenix. I know it's hard, but keep moving forward. (((HUGS))))

[Pinot's Mom]

A mother's son can do no wrong. This you need to absolutely put out of your mind; it's no longer your issue, and she'll have to learn on her own. Please don't expend any additional energy on her.

Take this time to heal yourself, get your life back on track, and build your mind, body and spirit. It's all about YOU!

Sending hugs and prayers...

A mother's son can do no wrong.

Oh yes they can - and do. I haven't seen or spoken to my oldest son in about 15 years. He made his bed, so he can lay in it.

QOP - here's hoping that your life is now going in the right direction. You've taken the first step which is always the most difficult. Be strong and keep going, and don't look back. There's nothing you can do to change the past, but you can make your future happy and bright. Good luck.

Woo hoo I get to go get my clothes and other personal items from his house this morning!! Then I can collect the kittens from the kennel and the new life will be on the way. I am feeling a bit better this morning.
