It's as though I am reading my own personal accounts of my life ( but without the children). I, too, have the daggers thrown at me about not having a "real relationship" and how I can't hold down a "real job". I, too, have pulled in more money before then J. I keep the house clean, dishes washed, clothes laundered, a hot meal when she is home from work, etc...but what always gets thrown in my face are all the things I CAN'T do...my soul aches for both of us. And don't ever shortchange yourself about not being there that much as a mom...my greatest memories of my mom were the times when we had little money and she would treat me to little surprises. I know as much as your heart hurts, you're doing the right thing. I just wish that I were as strong as you to do the same....<BR/><BR/>I love you,<BR/>Sarahfor_the_lonelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04651021710068244562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11565168.post-26528787189384808182008-10-22T13:29:00.000-04:002008-10-22T13:29:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.A Slimmer Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05434968550370589279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11565168.post-87193058896179991742008-10-20T11:04:00.000-04:002008-10-20T11:04:00.000-04:00Di, this too shall pass.

That's probably why he wanted you in the first place, someone that HE could bully around. Verbal and emotional abuse as we know is WORSE and leaves LONGER SCARS than physical. Kyle will stand before God someday for his treatment of you. But you have the power to believe him or not. And to some point you have the power to let him hurt you or not. You are taking all the steps necessary to get away from the toxic mold that is Kyle. You are taking the power back from him and I am proud of you. Let me tell you teaching Savannah about Jesus and about prayer and faith, that is the best Mothering that I can think of. When you stand before God as a parent, you will be rewarded for that. All Kyle gives her is temporary things. THINGS. Nothing lasting, nothing eternal. You are obeying God and the Bible to "train up a child in the way (s)he should go." You keep on doing what you are doing and hold your head up very high and proud. Don't waste your time trying to justify anything you are or anything you do to anyone who thinks otherwise. They don't count. And tell Kyle to get down on his knees and thank God every day that I am 5 hours away from him. An angry melzie is very scary indeed and I am so angry right now, that someone would take the gentle spirit and loving soul you have and beat it down. Never stop loving DIANNA. love ya whoagrl sisser poo. xoxo melzieMelziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18381288993794251678noreply@blogger.com
