Hi Mattie,

You hang in there. It is all about them trying to bully and contol us. I read the book Emotional Blackmail..A friend gave it to me. It is very good and it would help alot of people on here see what H or W do to make us feel like it is our fault. I used to believe it was all my fault.

The C i went to also couldn't believe I have stayed so long. I keep telling myself that it is for financial reasons that I have to take care of my self and the boys. That is what you need to do. It is you and your daughter now. He has to deal with what happens he is the one that wanted out. You stay strong.....

Hugs for you . It is a tough old road but I believe we are making progress.

Hang in there.
