I just read your story on another post, and I wanted to tell you that you're an inspiration and role model for me...you've been through so much and yet accomplished so much and you're so compassionate towards others.

I hope in the end I can turn my life around like you did. At first I used to expect it would be an instant process: one day I would fix everything, and be happy. Now I realize that it takes years, that's more realistic. But hey, life is long anyway so I guess that's OK.

I never knew your home got broken into while you were asleep. That is actually one of my fears even though it never happened to me. I used to sleep with a big stick (more like a staff) next to my bed in case it happened. Then I got rid of it, and I wish I still had it becuase I felt safer with it. At least I had some way to protect myself. I have to sleep alone a lot of the time becuase Dh is gone so often for his job and to visit his family. Anyway, I"m really glad you were'nt hurt- physically. But I'm sure it was terrible. Did he steal or destroy any of your stuff? I'm glad you're OK.

Lori,

I'm glad you followed your instincts and moved. That sounds like a really dangerous situation. I'm sure you did the right thing.
