Hello Ladies,

I am a friend of Hurtinginga and just want to write all of yall and thank yall for helping her and for convincing her that she needed to go to a shelter. She is safe for now and that is important, but more importantly she is getting the counseling that she desperately needs. She is such a loving person, she only thinks of others and not herself. I have been trying to get her to go to a womens shelter for about 3 weeks, she was just to scared. Her ex husband has been hurting her for years. She stayed with me the other night, I found her sleeping in the closet curled up like an infant. My heart ached for her. She told me that she feared that he was going to bring his friends over again. I asked her to explain what she meant by friends. That SOB gang raped her on more than one occasion. I can not imagine how she has made it through the things that she has told me. I don’t understand why she didn’t ask for help, and I don’t think I will ever understand. I spoke with her last night and she hurts a lot but she was more concerned about what SHE has done to her son. I tried to convince her that SHE did not do this to her son, HE did. Anyway I rambling here, she told me last night about these boards so I wanted to thanks all of the ladies that responded to her postings and convinced her to ask for help. I will keep yall posted on her progress.

Chris, thank you so much for the update. It's good to know that she's safe now, and away from him! He's a real piece of sh!t if you ask me, for doing that to her. She mentioned his "friends" in one of her posts to us, and I was afraid it might have been something like that, but I didn't want to even think about it. Tell her we're all with her, we're thinking about her, and we love her. Most of all, make sure she remembers that NONE OF THIS IS HER FAULT!!!

Thanks again for letting us know what's going on.

Love & Hugs,

Emm
