Okay everyone, here we go!


As suggested by rlch, post your stories (or links to stories) here so we can all get acquainted and see how everyone found their way into our little corner lounge.


We'll get the hot guys to bring in refreshments, chocolate and give foot massages while we share.

Yes, blue's life has been difficult to say the least.
She has been a lifeline for me.

Although, I seldom post, I lurk when I can and post when I feel the need and try to make it to chat occasionally on Sundays.

I'd really like to post my story - but will need a bit more time than I have now.

Lets say that I've been around the board sind 2002 (I think, maybe longer). I'll get hit from all sides, I still after all this time, question just how much of my relationship is abusive - then I also can say - I am extremely brainwashed and conditioned which I have only just begun to realize just how much so I am.

The panic attacks have been coming more frequently lately. BUT I now am recognizing them for what they are. Had never realized it before. This as been a sort of light bulb moment for me to see this.

I guess you could say that I have "decided" to Deal with the abuse until such time as I no longer can take the pain of staying. Right now, it is the lesser of two evils for me.

I'll post more later.

wishfuls life has also been a trying experience - I love this gals here as well as the many before them who have been such tremendous help and the ones that have joined recently.

hugs to you all,
ples
