Cancergirl, your first name if you don't mind? I'd like to pray for you tonight before I go to bed. Same with your son and your husband.

God bless.

Stop right there !!! You are wasting your time and putting you and your son in possible danger from a flipped out husband. You giving your "all" this weekend will not suddenly cause your wayward to have an epiphany. I don't think you have been listening to a word I said.

Your wayward is an abusive man....right now verbally, the next step is physical.

Consider yourself warned.

BOL,

Sour...............

Thanks, I know what your saying is so true. The Lord is the one person who will never leave me. He has always been my strength. Talking is also making me feel a little better!!!!

BOL,
I have been listening to you. But we dont have any family in FL. My friends are not cool with me coming to there house b/c I have a son. So I basically have NO place to go except back to WA. I would have to get a ticket and all that stuff (which I will do ASAP)

sorry you had a rotten b-day. mine sucked to. wh was here and we argued before he left and said some pretty mean things to me to just stay strong for yourself and son no matter what you decide heres a hug for you i know your pain too{{{{{cancergirl}}}}

I agree with Lemonman. You need to decide what YOU want to do. Do you want to play the victim with this guy? Are you a doormat? What kind of jerky friends do you have who won't let you come over with your baby? Did you say he's 6 months old? Lordie, he can't even walk around and get into anything yet.

Go back to WA. Get out of a situation that could explode!

BTW: Cancer girl, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

For your birthday, I will give you the benefit of my vast years of experience. I've had some pretty crappy birthdays in my time. Good old WH, even before he was wayward, could never seem to get it together to make birthdays special. My advice is, if you are in a situation where you know that the special birthday thing isn't going to happen, then you set it up for yourself. You can shamelessly say, "It's my birthday, I can party if I want to!" Buy a cake, invite somebody over, get a dinner reservation. Lots of restaurants love babies. Geeze, take the baby to Taco Bell.

My other piece of advice is to get you and your baby out to some kind of new mothering class. There are Mom and Me exercise classes, yoga classes, parenting classes, play groups. Don't miss this golden opportunity to connect with other new moms. Even today, though my kids are BIG, some of the best friends I have or will ever have, date from the baby and toddler years. Look for classes through your local parks and rec department, the school system's adult education program, churches, moms' groups or babysitting co-ops. You will find friends and it will help your sense of isolation. When WH asks why you need the car, you have an excellent reason.

Give your baby a kiss for me (I have a very soft spot for little boys) and be strong.
