Hey Nikki,totally relate,Only with my situation it took me 27 years to get a back-bone...I feel as though the weight of the world has been lifted from my shoulders...However things are still not final with my divorce,an sometimes it feels as though divorceing him is going to be harder then staying married to him....The control that man had an still kinda has over me is just wrong....I call it my centipede in my brain.....I have a lot of life left in me however an closeing that book once an for all in my life so as I can begin a new can't be soon enough....You take care girl,I never new what was worst the bruise's or the words...I always said at least the bruise's went away....The heeling process will be a while but like I've always said there is always a rainbow after a storm.......

Crunch, crunch, crunch. (passes bag) ya see I know I'm ugly. Ya know how I know I'm ugly? Because I've had these women tell me I'm ugly. Not husband material. Not handsome. Not pretty. And not hot. To my face. To my I'm's. Behind my back. Over my shoulder. And between my legs. And now I'm supposed to jump on the pity train? Woo! Woo! No. And I'm not going to stoop to self affirmation...I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggonnit people like me copout. I know who I am! Who the heck are these people? And what planet are they living on?

(Takes the bag)..crunch, crunch.....I am one of these women who was abused in my marriage and I do understand how they feel..I feel so much better about myself, now that I am out of that relationship and have found a man who loves me unconditionally...


So---**slaps you in the back of the head**--cut out the crap about not being good looking , there is a woman out there just looking to find a guy as funny and good looking as you...and if you keep this up....I will start to think you are just looking for attention too!!

I'm done. Thank you for your time. Have a nice day. Good luck. God bless.
