I'm still around but had to change my name. Originally TravelBarb, later and for a long time - Barbie Doll.
Survived MLC???? Nope. Got divorced and never looked back. Took me a long time to reach the point I didn't want him back but have to say - he never improved. He is nasty, disrespectful and non-supportive of his kids. This is NOT a man I care to be around. He changed all his morals and values to suit his behaviour.
I am in a relationship for 6 years with a wonderful man and I am very happy. I would never wish what my ex did to me on anyone. But it happened and I've coped and survived.
