Maybe you did not know it but your experiences have taught us a great lesson.<BR/>I would like you to know that you are not alone. <BR/>Some of us had the same ordeal that you went through and I must admit I was one of them.<BR/>It is not easy to recount the past but writing is one of the ways of releasing it.<BR/>You always take good care.Allurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03418956627174488701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557521067707596533.post-36718505024078020772008-07-11T20:06:00.000-04:002008-07-11T20:06:00.000-04:00Now I know why you responded as you did to my moth...Now I know why you responded as you did to my mother's day post. My oh my. Over time, I hope you and your son have some peace and healing in your lives. Like another commenter remarked, these situations are never simple or people aren't one dimensional. Why you stayed is probably encapsulated in the one word you said at the end "fear". Or as some call it: "False Expectations Appearing Real"Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06850130802615924865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557521067707596533.post-80002619264543989672008-07-11T07:26:00.000-04:002008-07-11T07:26:00.000-04:00I'm just so sad to read your story but I hope u wi...I'm just so sad to read your story but I hope u will take things in stride and eventually move on. 21 years is no easy feat, and for that u have my total admiration.

I've done volunteer work with women in transition from an abusive relationship ... it's so complex. It's never as easy as 'why doesn't she leave' or 'why does he do it' or 'they deserve each other' ... no human being is that one dimensional, as your story so clearly shows.MYMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17679094659957098225noreply@blogger.com
