She was the best. I miss her everyday. She passed a few years ago but
everyone who knew her loved her.

put it this way i am not going back to him ever agian because he told me
to trust him and that he would never hit me like the others and guess
what he turned out just like them

Good for you honey. Where are you going to go from here?

look for another man who is going to treat me with respect

Mimi ... my grandma told me to tie him up in a sheet and take the
baseball bat to him ... and she wasn't limited to the knees. My first
husband hit me twice. I woke him up the next morning hitting him back
... he knew why and just held my hands. I told him that he might be
bigger than me but I had enought money to hire someone bigger and badder
than he was that would make him wish he had never touched me. He never
hit me again.

mimi your grandmother sounds like she was one special person.


redneck_woman That is the best decision you've made regarding him. Don't
let this affect your new beliefs. Not all, in fact the vast majority are
not like him. Find someone who can truly guide you.

Good for you too Dallen. I am glad to see you and redneck_woman doing
what most women don't have the courage to do. I know people out in
California that have told me they could never leave someone who hit them
and the reason the couldn't leave had nothing to do with being affraid
of what else he could do to them. Honest to God, their excuse was and I
can quote this because I have heard this expression way to many times
"If he don't hit me that means that he doesn't love me". I am sorry but
that is the sorryest thing I have ever heard in my life and still can't
get over that after years of abuse they are still with these, excuse my
laungage "assholes". So I still gotta give credit to the two of you for
making the situation better for yourselves.

thank you

You are both very brave women. Well done to both.

No problem girl just trying to help someone out. I guess it is one of my
weaknesses is that I love to help people in their time of need. If
there is anything I can help anybody with just send me a message and I
will do my best to try to help.

thank you so much you so much for helping me through this diffulcult
time

Like I said honey ANYTIME you need some one to talk to just message me
and I will help you. I am new to the sight and would love to make some
new friends and try to help out with anything.

No problem at all. Goes with my beliefs and moral code. Just make sure
that you take care of yourself. I fully expect you back on line when you
get to MO to say you're safe.

kool i will keep that in mind

I shall also try to help if needed. There are always people here to
help.

i will try

So how you holding up? I apologize if responses seem slow but working
other thread and have 2 IM up as well.

i am hangign in there just don't know if i want to press charges or not

YES and YES again. NOBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO DO THAT TO YOU. YOU PRESS
CHARGES. YOU GO TO COURT AND LOOK AT HIM IN THE EYES WHEN YOU TESTIFY
AND WHEN SENTENCE IS PASSED. WATCH THE FACE HE MAKES AS JUSTICE IS DONE.

i will
