Sun, I didn't mean to upset you, and if you look back over my posts, I have acknowledged repeatedly to you and others, that I COULD NOT do what you are doing. No question. Nor am I criticising you. I am truly sorry if my post came acrosss that way. It wasn't meant to. You have one of the hardest stich's here. What worries all of us [I think - don't imagine we discuss it behind your back] is that it is dragging you down to the extent that you cannot get away from it.
Actually my home was sold out from under me, but that is another story . . . .
But you see the difference is, and this is going to sound hurtful, I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't stay around to be abused. You are employable. You and your kids could make a family unit and get away from this. It is hard, but one of the huge problems that abused people face is that abuse becomes 'normal' and they go on tolerating behaviour that NO-ONE should have to tolerate. Again, no criticism is intended here.
Please do not imagine that I have anything other than respect and admiration for you. I just worry that you are stuck in this terrible situation.
