To Jr.

Jr, life is a very short journey and I do believe that the Creator of Life wants us to be as happy as we can possibly be. We make our own happiness and sadly we also make our own hell.

I think you know exactly what you want to do and I also believe that you will make the right decision. Your husband is a sociopath and he isn't going to change. Sociopaths are narcissistic and everything is the "me, me, me syndrome". (Just like a toddler experiencing "the terrible twos", he wants what he wants when he wants it). Functioning adults learn that we get what we get when we get it. I hope I am not confusing you but trying to understand the dynamics of a socipathic personality is not an easy task. It's like trying to make sense out of a non-sensical situation.

Nevertheless, you deserve happiness. So you made a mistake. Haven't we all made mistakes? Of course we have and of course we will as long as we are on this planet. Toss this man out the door and let him go back to Moroc. To be perfectly honest, he's not going anywhere. He'll find a group of his homeboys and before you know it, he'll be sitting in an internet cafe right in the U.S. and guess what? He'll be flim-flamming as many men and women as time will allow.

Does he love you? Of course not. Is he honest? Of course not. Does he give a damn about your dogs? Of course not? Pack his clothes in a lawn and leaf bag and place it on the outside of the front door. Change the locks on the door and begin to live. Right now you are merely existing. Life is a short journey. Drink it down to the bottom of the cup.

Good Luck.
