Just to let you know..... I'm still alive.

[Between Tears]

Thank you very much Snodderly! I had a quiet birthday, a 10 hour day at work, and a simple ride home. Although I could say I purchased the TV and sofa for my birthday too.

I realize I can't live as though Dick is going to come after me again... however, just like the boogey man, Dick still hides in the shadow of my mind at times.

Just curious, once I'm out of range, who will Dick set his sights on? Realizing the power/control patterns, Dick will need someone to project those things he dispises about himself, blame someone for those things he has done, he will need to release the angst that builds inside of him, he will need to control, but who will he set his sights on? Will it be my Son? It seems when I wasn't readily available, he used my Son, although right now, Dick is playing Mr. Nice with him and in a honeymoon period.
This is the reason I feel I'm in for it for S's graduation, Dick hasn't had any release since Christmas visitation and taking my rights to be with D away by taking her out for breakfast when I was supposed to be with her.

I do know there will come a time when he will mentally implode, but that could be in the distant future.
