Making the best of life one day at a time Mood
Saturday, June 7, 2008 | A Positive story

Hello everyone, just wanted to send you an update of myself.  Most of my friends on here know I left my abusive husband a little over 6weeks ago.  Well I moved to Toronto from our home in Halifax, NS.  My husband had to come to TO. a little over a week ago and had to drop of some things I had left there that I couldnt take with me at the time.  Well we saw each other a couple of times for coffee, etc and today he left to back to Halifax on Tues.  Last night I gave him my rings back and we both know there's no future because of his intense mood swings, etc but it was so hard on me emotionally to see him leave again today and might never see him again.  I know if I don't it's really for the best but I was doing so good until he came back for a visit and stirred my hopes up again and now I feel so disappointed to see that nothing has changed at all.   I've just done a lot of crying today but I know tears are also an healthy outlet and they also heal so I'm not trying to keep them bottled up. 

Thanks to all my dear friends who has been there to help me through this and if any new friends want to send me notes or hugs by all means do so. Every contact will be greatly appreciated

God Bless you all

Glenda

    I never had an absusive husband, but I once had an abusive boyfriend, who hit me. Well, after that I dumped him and let me tell you it was well worth it. I did love him and I was hurt at first, but nobody, I mean nobody should have to put up with that. You did the right thing. Over time the hurt will go away, suffering through the hurt and depression you may feel will be worth it in the end. You will meet someone else, and you will be able to tell if he is an abuser because of the experience you just went through. Hang in there, I will be here for you. Love and Hugs...Marie

    Hi Marie,
    Thanks for the kind words. My husband wasn't physical abusive but he use to belittle me and manipulate me which I look at as mental/emotional abuse which is still abuse. I used to have to walk on egg shells because he was always overstressed and would get mouthy and take his irritabilty out on me, I could'nt speak. We would go for dinner out and I didnt know how to speak to him, everything I said was wrong, or I said it at the wrong timing. My gut was in knots all the time. My biggest problem now is my age and the health issues which is preventing me to work and that causes me to be financially insecure but its still worth it to be away from the abuse. I know I'm not going to be homeless or starve so I thank God for what I do have.
    Hope youre having a great weekend. We're enjoying the heat wave here this weekend and I'm not going to complain because this winter was so long and depressing
    Keep in touch with your encouraging words because I still do go through days of mixed emotions.
    Love and prayers
    Glenda
