resolutions do not come easy

First to Dora, I want to say God Bless you. I know it will not be easy to free yourself from an unhealthy situation. Kind of like smoking. You know it is bad for you and have to quit but it just isnt that easy. It is addicting and maybe you need to wean yourself slowly, but it can be done. I know you may feel lonely but life does go on. Easy for someone like me to give advice and not heed my own words.

For others who have left caring and supportive comments. God Bless you for reaching out to me even though we have not met and do not know each other. It felt good to release that pain and frustration, thank you for allowing me to do so.

For someone, who I will not mention, there is no need to add insult to injury in being so harsh and insensitive with your response. Unless you have walked in another shoes, dont judge.

As for me, I am doing my best. I am trying to stay focused on my goals and stay strong. With all the normal stresses that life brings it sad to not even have peace or comfort in my own home. It is hard for me to trust this man I am with. I hang on to every little piece of fleeing happiness just because the truth is too hard to bear. I cant face that at my age (although still not that old) I have had too many twists and turns and now failed relationships. I dont want another.

To the women still believing the act.....I hope you spare yourself more grief in the future. Do something now, dont wait till it is too late.
