I can understand how people feel about taking a break, and should do, if that's what is required for them .... I've led quite a hard life, long story, wont bore you with it ..... not saying this for sympathy, its fact, and the only reason, I'm still here despite all the
tit I've been through, is because I got knocked down, many times ... went to the depths of hell .... licked my wounds, got up and came back stronger, ready to fight even harder .... what I'm trying to say ..... we don't give up, however tough, upsetting it gets ... take some time, lick your wounds, and come back with a vengeance ..... my emotions used to rule me, and that made me weak, open to more abuse, the abuser relies on this, the more broken you get, pushes them to try harder to break you further ... my ` mother ` stopped in her tracks when I was 17, instead of cowering, I hit back, this shocked her, she didn't know what to do, I hit back, over, over and over .... I threatened to really hurt her, for all the years she hurt me, I meant it, there was A LOT of anger inside me, the abuse finally stopped, she wouldn't come near after that ... abusers are cowards ...... I have learnt over the years to not allow that to cloud my judgement anymore, these days my emotions do not rule my mind, and if they try, I put a stop to it before it begins, logic works better in my experience .... she pwwiccee will ALWAYS be a nasty, manipulating
bleep an abuser/bully ... she relies on people getting fed up with her behaviour, hence walking away, letting her get on with it .... here we don't do that ... we call her out, speak truth, and are doing what we can to get those children back to their father, by donating to the cause .... the kids may still be with her, but I would imagine under some strict conditions, that must be followed ... this is not over yet, all is not lost .... ` if ` as we suspect she is still using, drinking, this will help immensely with the children eventually being returned to their father ... sad fact, these things take time, and you can bet, she will use any loophole out there, in order to get her way, its what she does .... this place ` tattle ` who people call a gossip site, is much more than that, it has got me through some challenging times these last few years, I now see it as a community, where people care, support where necessary, and do the right thing when required .... WE DO NOT GIVE UP
