Rain...that was a very brave, strong thing you did and I think you should be proud of yourself for having the courage to reach out. It's not easy when you've been hurt so many times, but I think this was something that was very much needed. Here is hoping for a good outcome, but the strength to know you will be OK whatever comes.
Sleep well tonight and will check in on you in the morning.
Thanks Anna...honestly I went back and forth with myself a lot. It IS hard when you've been hurt so much and in so many different ways. And after the case of the missing condoms I just did not know if I wanted to put myself out there again. Also he did not respond favorably, however at least I know he listened to it like he promised.
Thanks guys for checking on me and rooting for me and our family. Only time will tell. I need to work on me and my STFU-ness and leave him to it.
