He's not dictating, ...He's just being protective....




Take it from someone who's been there and managed to escape with her life .... they ALL say that. They are always "just looking after you" or "Taking care of you" or "trying to protect you". And when you "just don't appreciate it" then it triggers the anger because you can't see everything he's doing for YOU, how hard HE works for YOU.... It's all about him while he disguises it as being FOR you.

It's control, honey. Trust me on this.

It took me being bent backwards over the sink with his hands around my throat and my vision fading to black before I was smart enough to see that I couldn't do that anymore. I don't know how I got away, but I did.

I also spent years "defending" his actions .... I realized later I wasn't defending him as much as I was trying to hide it from everyone else. If I could explain away his actions, then they wouldn't know. Because you don't want anyone to know that you are dumb enough to stay with someone like that. And if I didn't admit what was going on, then I didn't have to face it.

But they all knew. My friends, my family, everyone. I wasn't fooling anyone but me.

What doesn't kill us, makes us stronger. And I was so close.....

#1- I have to pay $8 for delivery for flowers; I think cake/cupcakes/cookies/etc., should have a deliver charge, too.

#2- I am scared spitless for these defenseless children. They are just babies. Please someone there get these babies to loving grownups asap. Get them away from the creeps (either Male or Female) that are harming them.

If that comment was about my nieces children and the abusive bf... The children and their mother live with the children's grand mother. Since social services, the courts, and the police are all involved due to the on-going court case for the abuse of the 3 yr old, the grand mother has "laid the law down" to her daughter. The children are not to go near him per the courts orders, if she wants to go see him fine we can't stop her no matter how hard we try but the children do not go! The children are to stay with their grand mother. It's gotten to the point lately that the grand mother has them 24/7. Between the mother of the children working and then on weekends if she doesn't work she wants to go out all the time. The children's father takes them every other weekend for visitation and those weekends she's nowhere to be found. She goes to work on friday with an over night bag, doesn't come home to say good bye to her children, gets off work and goes straight to the bf's place where ever he has found to sleep that weekend, and stays with him the entire weekend. Not too bad because the kids are with their daddy and are protected but still stupid on her part since he's already been arrested once for being seen by a cop with her. (the whole protective order thing is against him for the girls, the grandmother, and the mother of the children) So they tend to stay in on the weekends and if they do go out they just don't care....

But I wanted to make it clear that the children are being cared for by someone who does love them and is only looking out for their best interest and they are safe with their grand mother. icon_smile.gif
