Been thinking about this a while.

I found this site and message board in July 2000. The growth I've experienced in the years since has been nothing short of phenomenal. I left an abusive man and poverty for the unknown. I never could have believed the blessings that were waiting for me.

I shared as much of my story as I thought I should, and then some, under this ID and my first one (T-L-C), and made friends as well as attracted some negative feedback.

I want to stress to people that they don't make this site too big of a priority in their life. I feel I've come to a point where I have little productive to add, but every day or two I just have to stop by and see who's posting, who's done what and who's cheatin' who. As a former chat addict (I would hear the AOL IM sounds in my sleep!) I know when it has just become habit and is time to stop.

Some people say farewell, and some just vanish when they get to this point. I thought it would help me end my habit by announcing my intentions. I'll come back a couple more times to see replies, then I'm deleting my MB bookmarks. My story is still in my archived posts for anyone new who looks up 'verbal abuse' or any of the topics I've joined in.

Best wishes to all, and thanks for all the prayers given to my family over the years. I've learned much here that I will keep with me forever.

I veto this idea. We princesses have to stick together.

Seriously, you've meant a lot to a lot of people here. And I hate to see you go. But if you feel it best, then it is a choice you are free to make.

YOu know you are more than welcome to stay. We would love to have you stay. But only you know what is best for you.

Best wishes in all that comes your way, friend.

Hey Ex Pb,

I think we all relate and understand. The internet can be an addiction just like anything else...you have one post and your hooked. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

However, sometimes we need to escape, so if you need MB, you know it's here for ya...

As for me, I seem to come and go lately, it seems if something is bothering me, I come back...

Take care girlfriend,

ANNA

Princess,

Sorry to see you go, but I guess the good news is, you're leaving in much better shape than when you got here. I'll miss the fun stories you've told us about your ex, lol.

Good luck, girl. Take care of yourself.

God bless you in your life.
I have enjoyed reading your posts, mainly for the progress you've made. It's helps to see someone on the other side, and realize that there will still be triggers down the road (your property for example).
I also go to a divorce support group, and some people still go just to show the newcomers how much progress can be made. You've shown that to me.
Good Luck.
