It was 1 month ago yesterday that I became FREE!!! Guilty was the verdict, and Freedom was my reward. I have moved to my new house, and loving it. Hurricane Ivan tried to get the best of us last week, and we lost both of our cars,(60 ft Pecan Tree fell on them) but my house is still standing with very little damage, and more importantly my son and I and all my pets are fine. I love the evenings now, I use to hate them. I dont jump everytime one of my dogs bark, or a car drives by the house at night(well maybe sometimes I do). My nights are no longer filled with fear, I can sleep now and actually feel rested in the morning. If I want to do something I do it, I dont have to worry about if he finds out will it make him mad. I am actually living again and enjoying every minute of my freedom.
I was thinking today about all of the differences in my life and in my attitude towards life, and without even thinking about it I ended up here. I wanted to share my feelings and joy with all of you guys. I am truely FREE now and you guys helped me get to this point with your advice, kind words and prayers. If there are any out there who are struggling, just remember it can get better, it really can, I am living proof.

Yes, you are not only an inspiration to those still in their abuse, but to those of us who've been out a while and we haven't taken the time to stop and look back at how far we've come and say a loud "Thank You" to our higher powers!
I hope we hear from you often and you and your son keep going forward! Many will find their path through your strength!
You've been through too much, it's time to smile!
Huge Hugs
