I want my Monkey and Sheep Back

[mishka422]

like the idea of snapping the rubber band when the bad thoughts come in! i fear my skin will be raw after just an hour of trying it! hah. maybe ill give it a go, couldnt hurt (yes it would!) ha ha ha..

This really is no joke. Do it. Nothing quite like a snap to the sensitive underside of your wrist to thought stop. Beep, I did this for 6 months. I had welts on the inside of my wrist for the first few weeks. I finally got to a point that I would only have to snap it once every few days to a week. That is the goal. Think of it like Pavlov's dogs! You're training your brain to think in a different way.

I'm sorry I've been away. I had lost your thread for a while there.

You were really up for a couple of days there but you seem to have fixated on the visa issue. The USCIS will not just accept his word that he's been abused. They require proof. Heresay is NOT it! Trust me, I had a friend from Iran who was married to a man of Iranian decent but a US citizen. He was her sponsor for her visa. He beat her. Now, when I say he beat her I don't mean he smacked her one time, I mean broken bones, multiple trips to the hospital, etc.. He was very powerful and had the local politicians in his back pocket so all physical proof of his abuse was 'lost'. She was applying to have her visa maintained based on abuse and could not get any physical evidence to give them. Finally, a female doctor she had seen for a broken arm came forward with copies of the x-rays proving that her arm was broken by forcible twisting which could not occur on the stairs and she was granted not only her visa but full custody of her 3 kids and a restraining order against her H. It takes THAT kind of proof.

Hopefully that will ease your mind a little. It doesn't matter what he says in emails, only what he can prove.
