I have made the decision to tell my story about the abuse I suffered at the hands of my xH.

I am hoping that in so doing I will excercise these demons as I did when I posted about the sexual assault I suffered while in a hosptial emergency room .

(If you want to read it please read the entire thread)

I plan on posting this part of my story sometime in the next 5 -7 days on GQII. While writing it I may become "unavailable" during that time and if you want to get a hold of me please email way21981@yahoo.com .

I will not go into every case of abuse visited on me by this man -- but I will go into enough to give you a general picture and hopefully help people understand the pyschological transformation that takes place that keeps smart women in abusive realtionships.

Your questions are welcome (especially yours Pepperband) but please keep in mind -- because I am a writer and the way I write I will be "placing" myself back in the situation to help describe it to you -- it will be very draining and I may not be able to answer questions quickly .. and if a misunderstanding developes where I ascribe something different to the intentions of your questions, please be understanding.

thanks

Go ahead with it, I think writing stuff down will help you understand it much more, and help you in the healing process.
Look well after yourself.

I do hope that your posting your story will help you to heal. I'm hoping the same for me... but I'm not ready yet. Perhaps some of your story will trigger me into doing it.

Take your time... and ask for support if you need it. Ladies chat is always a good place to vent it out. See you there. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
