Had not posted in a while and was shocked not to be able to find out what happened to you Belld until now! <P>Could you return under a different name?????

Hi Bell. I haven't been on in about a week but I wanted to come back and see if you maybe popped your head in. But I have read that everything is okay. I was very worried. Remember everyone on here cares about you Melissa and we are here to support you. Take care of yourself and I hope to see you on here soon. (we really do miss you alot)

Up one more time.<P>Steve

Bell,<P>Your insight & encouragement has helped me very much. But when I read your post I was at work & broke down in tears. I've been checking in & am so glad you've been found & are doing ok. Reading the updates & seeing the outpouring of concern again brought me to tears.<P>Obviously everyone here loves you & is very worried about you. Please take care of yourself. You have touched many people & you are missed.<P>My thoughts & prayers are with you Belldandy.

Bumped Again <P>Hope you had a great weekend Bell. Mine wasn't to bad, relaxed a bit, rented some movies. Stepped outside for some sunshine, and all that. Which we've been getting a lot of lately in California. Quite hot actually at times <P>Knewjie followed suit and rented some movies as well... I'll let her drop by and tell you what she did. Hopefully, it will bring you some happiness atleast reading about some friends of yours from MB.COM having fun.<P>Still in California for the moment, but will be headed home soon enough <P>------------------<BR>Prayers, Hugs, and Strength from both of us.

Hi Belld<P>You are on our minds.<P>Z

Melissa, I'm still praying for you. Hope you're OK.

Belld:<P>Still thinking about you and for your safety.<P>Remember: self-preservation outweighs all else; should the abuse continue, take legal recourse to protect yourself (protect yourself before you protect your marriage). The law takes a dim view of wife-beaters, by the way.<P>Praying for you,<BR>Godspeed,<BR>STL

Melissa,<BR> I dont usually post over here. I'm from preg/child board but for some reason your thread popped out at me. Please write this number down its from the state I live in but I think they can steer you in the right derection for your state. 1-877-952-RAVE its a shelter for abuse. I was in one 20 yrs ago they are wonderful people that will help you.<BR> When you get beat down to many times it distroys your spirt please dont let this happen to you nobody diserves to be hurt like this. This shelter is called relief after violent encounters-RAVE. Look in the yellow pages under Social Service Organizations and you could probley find something for your area if this doesnt help. They have shelters that you can stay in and help you find houseing protection find jobs whatever you need they will help. They will council you and help you see that you dont deserve to be hurt. They even council h if he is willing to get help unfortuanty my ex didnt keep going and 20 yrs later he is the same man just found another victim for his abuse. I dont know your story but from what I just read my heart goes out to you, it sounds like your a in prison for a crime you had nothing to do with. Take care Melissa I hope things get better for you. with love flowerseed
