Sandi2, I don't get over here too often, but I lurk and have been watching several sitch's. Soleil for one. Spybunny is another. I'm a WAW. This is my third attempt to leave in 3 years. My Hus has been verbally and sometimes physically abusive for most of our 20-year marriage. I finally learned to say the word abuse about a year ago. And I'm doing some personal work w/ IC to learn how I ended up marrying this guy in the first place.
He is beloved by all, which is not unusual for a predator. By day, Mr. Nice Guy, pillar of the community. After dark, craziness. You can read all about it in "We're Separated..."
I'll be busy resting, visiting S16, and moving into my new place for the next couple of weeks. (Taking medical LOA) I'll pop over as time allows once I'm settled in. If anyone is free and want to come to Portland for the weekend, I could use more help!
For years I thought it was my fault. I should try harder to be a good Christian wife. I'm Catholic, I don't believe in Divorce. Until now. You don't mess with the Mama Bear, or her cubs, any more.
