Her e-mail last week was pretty frightening and although she mentioned that she would try to post today if she felt better or had a chance to, I haven't seen anything yet from her.<P>Just wondering if anyone had e-mail or phone contact with her since Friday.<P>Just worried for her and her family :-(.<BR>PS

PS, I too am becoming VERY CONCERNED here! Has ANYONE heard from her? Does ANYONE here know how to reach her? As much as people here at MB keep in contact on the side of this board through e-mail, phone, etc, doesn't anyone know how to get in touch with her? Am I missing something here?

I sent a quick e-mail to Tempest asking if there is anyway to track. I know that when we sign on that we provide e-mail address but there has got to be some way to determine who/where the face behind the name is.<P>If there has ever been cause for intervention that I have seen, this would be it. <P>Any thoughts? Any news?<P>Lisa

PS: I am still here. I posted a new topic. I am fighting very hard to survive. I have 8 days to go before the permit is no longer valid. Because my time is so limited, I probably won't refile again for a permit. It's also a hassle. I read your post with an open mind and heart. I have to keep telling myself that these people care. I am very tired today because I have not been sleeping well. There have been nights where I just lay there and think. Today, I spoke with some survivors of child sexual abuse to see what their experiences have been. I am tired of reliving the past, being bulimic and distrustful of people. I want to be happy and I have been told that happiness comes from within. However, my within is full of unhappiness and fearfulness. I sure do put on a good act here at work. Anything to keep others from knowing who I really am. Now tell me what type of life is that? Thank you for hearing me out and giving me your words of wisdom. I will continue to post and maybe give my prayers and words of kindness to help others out. Maybe it will help me. In the meantime, it's a day by day for me. That's all I can handle.<BR>My love and prayers to you dear friend.

Thank God!!!! I am so happy that you finally posted again! We have all been concerned and worried about you! You mentioned your keeping your personal life from people at work with the act... Well.... I wouldn't do it any other way. I had to hide many things from people I worked with. I ended up getting fired because I wouldn't tell them I had been raped and beaten. They thought I just wanted time off. I didn't tell... I wouldn't tell.....18 years as a government employee and it wasn't worth it telling the gossips and snoops....<P>You are such a brave woman to hang in there as you are!! Don't get the gun.... don't do it! If it's there, there is the possibility that you will use it. <P>I am so proud of you for being as strong as you are! Hang in there hon and please... keep in touch with us.... Our prayers are with you.... we care more than you know!<P>Lacee
