    • Hug

      From SuziW August 28, 2008

      My heart aches for you that you have had to endure this torture for so long -- I will NEVER forget the abuse I suffered from my ex-husband. Just thankful to say -- he is my EX-HUSBAND -- and as my kids said almost 20 years during our divorce and after I threw him out -- we are "safe" now -- which has been a closure for them -- there has been no contact with him. I hate what he has done to any morsel of self-esteem I once had -- I will never forgive him for his abuse. I wish he didn't continue to haunt me....I hate that he still has that power.
