2nd Thread - After almost 1 year, I keep going

[keep_going]

I thank you all for your responses and I am right there with you.

I have (we all have) people in our lives that have proven to us that change IS possible.

That to me is the most beautiful thing about our imperfect nature as human beings - THAT WE CAN ALL CHANGE.

It is ironic to me, because I had read one of Patricia Evans' books and it was VERY helpful to me. She definitely knows a lot about what constitutes verbal abuse and is very good at identifying the behaviors - some of which I was guilty of doing in my marriage.

Having said that, it is so very sad and disturbing to me to see her clear gender bias. As an author and expert that speaks and reaches thousands of people - a lot of them who are vulnerable and looking for help, I believe she has a responsibility to what messages she sends out.

I don't know how long ago she wrote that book I quoted from, maybe her perspective has changed.

So I will give her the benefit of the doubt, just like I would have liked her to give it to me too.

AND, I am already starting to prove her wrong
