WHY? she couldn't give an answer... later when i was in a very negative situation (thank goodness not as bad as hers) i left him 3 days b4 christmas - called her and my stepdad (good man she married later) and they picked me up and moved me out -- she said to me 'you have more strength in yourself at 23 than i did at nearly 40...' i told her - it was BECAUSE she finally kicked him out... because she stood up to him... because of her example and strength that i was now strong... no matter what your children went thru - they gained strength and character to deal with anything that life can throw them when you led by example and left that man... continue to be strong -- your already courageous!ciara bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06790775798521154874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4118772.post-44655643404854920892008-07-21T05:35:00.000-05:002008-07-21T05:35:00.000-05:00Let me just say, I did NOT vote for Barbor because...Let me just say, I did NOT vote for Barbor because there was something about him I didn't like, now I know why. If he tries to run again, I hope he loses by a landslide! He has made a lot of people angry in my city by his actions not only the victim's family, friends, the Chief of Police, the Mayor but society as a whole. There is NO excuse for what the Govenor did and nothing he says can justify letting a killer go free irregardless of his trustee status. Who cares that this man isn't allowed back in Jackson Co. What's to say he won't find some other woman and do it again? <BR/>Stay strong and know that you did right by your children in getting out and away from the abuse. <BR/>I wasn't abused by any husband but was abused as a child by my mother and my only older brother. Talking does help, whether it be with a therapist, friend, or relative. <BR/>Take care,!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4118772.post-62615302444078941112008-07-20T12:56:00.000-05:002008-07-20T12:56:00.000-05:00I am so sorry you and your children lived through ...I am so sorry you and your children lived through that It is very hard to heal.<BR/><BR/> I am glad you are taking a stand as that man doesn't deserve to be pardoned just to make some one else Happy.kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00628195427747293313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4118772.post-61463443822209525582008-07-18T16:33:00.000-05:002008-07-18T16:33:00.000-05:00Your blog made me cry and it also made me very Ang...Your blog made me cry and it also made me very Angery!!!!!!!

I know exac...Oh, have I been there and done that!! I know exactly what you mean about leaving--what do you do, where do you go and how do you even begin?<BR/><BR/>But, I did and took my children with me. Not until many years of abuse--physical, verbal, emotional.<BR/><BR/>How can this man be pardoned?? I don't understand!! This saddens and at the same time infuriates me!!<BR/><BR/>I now volunteer for Domestic Violence Services. My feeling is that if I can help just one woman who is this same situation, then I will have done some good in my lifetime.<BR/><BR/>Bethsailorcrosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14378552999540084798noreply@blogger.com
