Jeannie-- Yep, I agree with you. It took years of therapy for me to stop blaming my mother for not getting us kids out of that situation (and that shes stayed with him all these years). But then I started seeing my mother as a victim, and it changed the way I felt about that. I still cant ever imagine letting my kids live…

Thank you Marla:flowerforyou: It was EXTREMELY hard to just share that little bit. I spent the rest of the morning kind of in a dazed fog trying to get it all back out of my head. The elliptical helped:wink:

Good morning! I just read all the stories and I am so moved by them I actually entertained the idea for a minute of sharing mine.

Good morning everyone! Well, turns out I dont have arthritis or carputunnel (sp). I have a Ganglion Cyst.

The reason for the flare up with it was…
