| 2009-10-21 | mary | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | thank you very much for your prompt response. I certainly will advise my sister now what to do. |
| 2009-10-15 | Ricky | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | actually, what you said is very insightful, and i agree one hundred percent. The main reason i want to take a legal suite against him is financial reasons, so i have the money to buy a car, rwc my present car and afford somewhere else to live and the get the f... away from them. I'm actually ammencipating my family. they cause me to much stress. i'm going to look for my real father and have a fresh slate with a real family (hopefully, if he wants to know me).but deep down all this has made me stronger to be the best father and husband by asserting the situation. i have for years offered family counselling, but no one wants to do it but me,and for a fact he has emotionally tornmented me, and hit me at one point. He hates being proven wrong. He lies to try and get me in trouble with my biological mum. He plays games, but i see through his fasade. no one respects my intelligence in my family, and i'm a qualified counsellor. Before i take a formal view i research it at the correct sites, places etc. but no they still ..... |

| 2008-10-02 | Stacey | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you Dianne for your quick response. You have said exactly what my friends have been telling me to do. In fact, my 18 year old daughter also told that I would be a fool to stay. She says that if I don't leave, then her dad would believe that he has full control over me and there is no telling what he may do to me next. I'll send you my SC addy in a few days. Thanks again. May God continue to bless you. Please continue to help woman like me. YOU are God sent. Stacey |
| 2008-06-28 | Mo | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you so much for your swift response and the benefit of your wisdom - I am going to the library 2morrow and start learning to "accept the things I cannot change"....God Bless and thank you!!! |
| 2008-06-21 | Michelle | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank u so much for reading my story. As much as my pride stands in my face regarding the shelter idea (along with it feeling like that choice is like punishing myself or "not fair" because he will be comfortable in our home with our stuff while I feel further displaced), I see it may be a necessary but temporary choice that might just provide the space and opportunity to see the situation as so many others observe with such clarity. I was really down when i wrote and feel so blessed to have connected with u. My sincere gratitude, M |
| 2008-06-15 | Michael Franklin | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Dianne, Thank you and if in the future I can be of any help please contact me. God bless your nephew and thanks again. Michael |
| 2008-05-07 | Sheri | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Dianne, Thank you so much. I always find myself telling myself "well, at least I did not get hit so it must not be abuse". I find myself trying to justify his actions or thinking that since I was not hit, it was "just a marital fight". I knew it isn't right what he is doing, but I did not know if it crossed into abuse. Thank you so very much. Sheri |
| 2008-05-05 | Susan | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you. REALLY GOOD THOUGHTS HERE! |
| 2008-04-06 | Clare | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Dianne thanks for your reply.You are right in what you say but as you know it is easier to dream about separation than actually doing it. I have ordered your book and hope it will give me some inspiration. Thanks for responding I feel so alone. Clarex |
