oh my god. this caused me so much pain and sorrow. nobody should have to know this. i hope that life gives you equal measures of joy and peace and that you know the full amount of your courage and grace for being able to release it in words this way.
A former member wrote: This is a strong piece with a story behind it. The point where one cannot tell being asleep from awake is a very scary feeling.

I comprehend a part of your pain through this. Why do we have to hurt? There is no reason I can fathom. Why do people choose to let themselves become bringers of destruction and grief? I think the path they chose was easy at first, downhill is always easy, but then when the direction became clear it was too steep to turn around. Then again, there is no excuse for not letting oneself fall into the pit of Hell itself rather than hurting another. * * * This, along with your bio, touched me. It makes me want to dispense justice myself. * * * No matter how much was taken from you, though, only you have the power to choose where your spirit will go from here. Keep climbing if you can.

I'm not sure I read your response properly..."and sometimes they get what they deserve"? No one (man or woman) deserves to have their life erased by another. I wanted to leave him when I discovered he was unfaithful...my mistake was confronting him first. My advice to others is "just leave, no confrontation is needed". If I misinterpreted what you said...my apologies. And thank you for stopping by =)

The caps were because I was VERY nervous about writing something about myself...Not used to the exposure. Thanks for reading =)
