Mitzi,<BR>I live in Ohio very close to West Virginia. About 90 miles west of Huntington.

Mitzi,<P>i know how you feel. All I can offer is support. Last May OW was pregnant. She had an abortion in June, my H paid for it actually he borrowed from his parents to pay for it. Tried to keep it from but I found out. I still live in dread that I will hear that she is again. My H just turned 50. <P>I like the idea of a convention.<P>Hey Cat I live in Tulsa and I visit my parents in Stilwell which is close to the Arkansas border. Maybe we can get together sometime?<P>I have already visited with two people from the board. I think it would be quite interesting to see if people look anything like we have imagined them to look like.<P>Again Mitzi {{{{{{HUGS}}}}} and prayers.<P><P>------------------<BR>di<P>

SDS,<P>I posted an update just a little bit ago. From what my MIL was able to find out, the OW is not pregnant. My H told her that it was just a rumor. (I hope so!)<P>Take care,<BR>Mitzi

Mitzi,<P>I finally figured out why I can't get angry.....no matter what he does to me. It is the abused part. Women who are abused have long given up getting angry. It will take years before we feel this anger. We have learned after years of this...to cope...be nice through it all...besides, getting angry, just got more abuse.<P>I can get angry at myself...but not at him. It is still the ole'....I must have caused him to feel this way, even though you know you didn't.<P>Perfect meeting place..........Kelleys Island Ohio.<P>My parents have a great summer home there. Great fishing.....peaceful nights......great places to dance and drink. It is very secluded back where they are. Everything is within walking distance. They have plenty of room.....room to pitch tents...trailers...etc. They have a pool...for the kids or the kid in us. My mom and dad could babysit all the kids...we all could have the fun<P><BR>Lets do it<P>Nancy<P>PS forgot to mention....you have to take a ferry to get there...... <p>[This message has been edited by MENTAL (edited March 19, 2000).]

Nancy,<P>That wouldn't be a bad place. It would take me about 6-7 hours to get there. And it's not far from Canada either. I've been to Cleveland OH and Detroit, so I pretty much know the way. <P>BTW, if I can go, I'm leaving the kids at home and going by myself! I haven't went anywhere by myself in 10 years! (unless others were taking their kids!)<P>I agree about the anger. I've had my phone tied up all day so I wouldn't have to talk to him. I'd rather not.<P>Take care,<BR>Mitzi

Mitzi,<BR>that phone thing is where all my stbx anger is coming from. I also do that....I just can't talk to him anymore.....he tries to say mean things...and I won't take it. If the girls talk to him he is always trying to get them upset so I will either get on the phone or call him back and complain. It is just too hard on me. Better not to talk to him.<P>That is about 90% of the reason they are taking the girls away. He says I won't let him talk to them....not true....I just won't talk to him.<P><BR>Hope your H doesn't pull that one<P>nancy

Nancy,<P>My H doesn't want my kids, but you never know what they will do. If he calls to talk to the boys, I'll let them but I will not talk to him anymore. He doesn't normally say things to upset the kids. And if he starts that, I'm calling my attorney and the kids can tell the attorney what he says to them. <P>I'm just not going to give in anymore. I've done that for too long!<P>Take care,<BR>Mitzi
