I got your email but my reply keeps coming back. I live about half an hour from where you've moved and would love to meet for lunch sometime. Email me at bamacheryl@msn.com and I'll get back to you as quickly as I can. (I know, blue, no email addresses! But I'm safe now, so it's okay.) Hope I hear from you soon.
Peace and hugs,
Cheryl =)

You I'm no so concerned with, same with her.

Thanks. Sherry emailed me because she moved nearby but I don't know if she got it or not. I hope so because it would be great to meet her.
Girls are great, thanks for asking. Dani started college last month. I now have an empty next every third week when Hannah visits her dad. It's weird. Tonight begins my second time with no one at home but me! Hannah is still acting out but not as much as she was. Dani is still dating a jerk just like her dad. Can't get her away from him, but definitely have lots of people trying to get her to see the light. She knows and admits that he's abusive, but won't break up with him. I guess she'll have to go throughthe steps until she finds someone who truly is wonderful.
Gotta get to work. Thanks!
Peace & Hugs,
Cheryl =)
HI BAMAGAL!!!!
I just recommended this site to a coworker (I actually recommend it everytime I talk to someone who is dealing with domestic abuse) and popped in to see what was new here. I am SO GLAD YOU'RE OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For some reason, it takes my machine here like 3 mins to load each post, so I don't come by very often. :( It is great to see you and blueliner and sweetdreams, and to know that you are all doing well.
I'm going on three years of freedom, and I'm ok now. These days, my biggest problem is my biological clock, as I REALLY want a baby! I have a great live-in boyfriend and we'll probably try for kids in the next year or two.
Talking about domestic violence now is funny. Used to be that I had no problem talking about it and could share and councel and be very strong about it. These days, I get some physical symptoms if I think or talk about it for too long...cold hands, shakey insides, that kind of thing. It is so far in the past, awakening those emotions now has an affect, when it didn't used to before. Funny, eh?
Anyway, I'm so thrilled to hear that you are safe!!!!!!
Big hugs!!
Hey, chaotican!!!! Long time, no see!! I can relate a little to those shaky feelings you get. That's happened to me a couple of times lately. Almost like the reality of it all is finally here. It was weird when it happened, almost like a small panic attack, bt I pushed it away and got on with it. I've actually stopped talking about the abuse so much and started focusing on ME!!
I've been out since May 2003, divorce was final September 14, 2004. I'm doing so well on my own now - emotionally, physically, financially, etc. It gets lonely sometimes - I haven't been on a date since moving out, which means it's been over 2 years since I actually had any kind of physical contact with someone of the opposite sex! But I have a job I love - Director of a charter high school district - and am in graduate school working on my masters in educational administration. That NEVER would have happened before. This year, I should actually bring in more money that Eric does!
My oldest, Dani (17 now), is in college now and doing very well, except for the fact that she can't seem to stay away from guys who are just like her dad - her boyfriend is a complete loser, but I can't chain her to the bed! My baby, Hannah (10, now), is still acting out but doing better in some ways. I'm told that as long as she spends so much time with her dad (full week every three weeks) that it will continue. We're moving to a nearby town this summer so that will change the visitation schedule and her behavior should change accordingly.
It's good to see you here again. I don't post very often at all, but I do lurk at least once a week. Between work and grad school, there isn't much time left! Come visit again soon and let us know how it is going!
Peace and hugs,
Cheryl =)
I really feel like I am somebody. Can't explain.
That's me, Looking for slockhart.
