LO, Yes, I'm a slow learner, it took me way too long. One of my dear friends called me tonight. We had not had a chance to talk for a while. We both have daughters that are seniors and have been wrapped up with their activities. I updated everything that had happened in the past month. As I told her, I thought, gee, he is really a horrible person, why have would I ever want to be with him again? I know it sounds crazy, but saying it out loud just made it sound worse than just thinking about it. It really opened my eyes to what I have put up with.
She is a wonderful friend. She is the type who listens and lets me get it out of my system. She has been here for me during this entire journey. I can remember many times her coming to my house or me going to her house when he first left. She would sit and listen while I talked and cried. She is truly an angel and I have told her that many times before.
Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are. -- Bernice Johnson Reagon
