Suze, that's great about your mom's friend. It gives me hope, since I have yet to have a healthy relationship. My marriage was very long and in a lot of ways, very lousy. He was emotionally abusive to the extreme and I feel fortunate that I was finally able to find the strength to leave.
Jannie, best of luck to you in your career. You will have a special place in my heart.
Deanna, I'm glad your dad is behind bars. He deserves to be there. I'm glad you weren't one of his victims.
