Please know that you are in my thoughts & prayers. I think of you often, as my 4 kids drive me crazy (teasing sort of). I remember when H didn't help much & I had to get everybody everywhere, make sure homework was done, discipline, teach, help, wash, enforce chores. Ugh ! It's exhausting.
As far as witnesses, there really aren't any. I told one friend how bad things were, & my mom, that's it. H's parents sort of knew we were having a tough time, but they had no idea how dire it was. I had become so much of a hermit the past year, I really pulled back from all my friends & didn't talk to anybody. Which is why I'm so glad to have everybody here to share with.
I'm glad you're enjoying reading it. It is very healing for me to write. I am sorry it made you cry though. hug. Take care.
