I still feel the desire to be with someone who will love me unconditionally & someone who has my complete trust. I don't have that with my husband at all &...
--you are right because you cannot trust someone who would be willing to have an affair with you. You deserve someone who wants a committment and that is not...
Ok, keep in mind I warned you this was kind of a long story... As I said, I'm not really sure where I am with God. I believe he exists & know he's all...
I am beginning to overcome the lack of appreciation I've felt from my husband for years. I am growing stronger every day. Building my future with the law...
... What you are talking about is relegion. That is completely different than a personal relationship with god. I too was raised protestant and my husband is...
Carrie, I'm a little behind on reading group mail, so you may already have moved beyond these feelings, but I wanted to respond. As someone who has been where...
k9, sometimes, it's scary how similar our lives are. I was raised with no particular religion. My father was Jewish and his family was fairly observant. Since...
Iris, I think that's it with me too, I'm not all that spiritual. Organized religion of any kind is a turn off for me. I talk to God when I need him, on my...
So my husband is back in his doldrums again. Yes, things are desperate financially (no thanks to him), but the only way we're going to get out of this or...
I think you're just doing what any one of us would do in this situation. You are taking charge & doing what you feel you need to for your family. In times of...
This is getting even wierder. My son was also kicked out of CCD class in 2nd grade. In our town, CCD is taught by parent volunteers in their own homes. This...
Yay! Good news about your knee. I had a knee injury about 2 years ago and it took 6 months of physical therapy before I could run again. I was going nuts....
This is really going to freak you out, but I believe it was 2nd grade when my son got kicked out too. He's also in 5th grade, turning 11 next week. We too...
My son will be 11 in July. He's on the younger end for the grade with the cutoff being Aug 31 and many parents holding their spring and summer babies out that...
My son is the average age of a 5th grader. I think his immaturity is just a boy thing. He's starting to grow out of it a bit, but still has his moments....
i just figured out that i am in an emotionally abusive relationship, although saying that i have realized that i always new that i just didn't want to admit...
I've thought about moving to FL, should the worst happen and we're forced to sell this house. I have family in Weston and that would make it easier on my...
Welcome! This is a very supportive group. I'm sure Marilyn will be along shortly to give you advice on where to get your hand on LOTS of information. But one...
... From: "Iris Davis" I still think he's an emotional abuser and I *know* he's a verbal abuser because of all the yelling and name calling he's done over the...
Iris, This is extremely common for abusers. There simply IS no compromise for them. Both parties can't win because if the victim "wins" in any way, to an...
No offense taken. The quality of schools really depends on where you are. I hand picked the city we moved to based on the school rating in this county. I'm...
Thanks for the info. I hand picked the town we live in too, based on cross referencing the top 10 school districts in MA with the price of house we could...
Lots of times I hear women say that they tried different techniques for dealing with a verbal abuser and all it did was get them more abuse. A lot of women...
I thought abusers were never the ones who left. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My father-in-law left my mother-in-law. I agree that it's a final slap in...
Jessika, I'm behind reading posts, so I know it's been three days since you were feeling so awful. I hope that you are doing better than you were when you...
Even when he has said he is changed, he is still using controlling behaviors (controlling your space by going through your purse and looking at your cell...
Hi, I just wanted to ask, here - I am not discounting anyone's feelings about their abuse perpetrators. Is there anyone out there who feels that it's possible...
Hi I went to my doctor today. I just couldn't stop crying. The doctor gave me Lexipro. When I told the Dr. about some of the specific incidents of my husbands...
