Oh this sounds like it's meant for me! I will have to see if they have this as an ebook for ipad!

Just realizing it is wrong, real and happens to many others is a huge source of strength to those experiencing abuse, it's not us, there is nothing wrong with us we are merely kind people caught in a unbelievable situation with one of the many abusive men. Off to share this post. My most positive thoughts are with you and your mother. Maybe you could record situations for her as you experience them later playing them back in private. She will come to the reality that it is in fact as outrageous as her inner most self has whispered to her. Be careful to listen silently with no comments. Let her absorb it on her own and process it as she needs to. Again, my most positive thoughts are with you and yours. :)K

Great story, I never even knew about the true version of this tale. Thanks for sharing with us.

Great idea, I do feel I will have something to celebrate this election night. Thanks for the great tips on hosting an election night celebration of our president. :)K

Yes thomo85 the Panorama is a great idea. My latest camera has a 'sweep' facility and it makes quite a difference.

I'm now rethinking my burglar alarm system, thinking of adding the individual door features. Why not, criminals look for and can spot the easy mark, I plan to be off that list for the long haul. Great Page! :)

Great and realistic page on the truth about our diets. You are so right a good balanced diet free from the obsession of diets is the best route. May we all get up and get on with the life that makes us tick, burning calories.... :)K

Thanks, Katie!

Katie, your inputs are always much appreciated in this respect. I probably still don't have the courage to share it all publicly but I have experienced the verbal abuse episodes that you describe. And so has my mother. Hopefully, someone out there will indeed benefit from this article as well as your inputs. Thanks again for your valuable comments!

Brenda, I am glad that it is indeed over for you. Recognizing that you are in an abusive relationship is the toughest thing. But once you do recognize it, there is a whole new life waiting for you out there. Believe me, just like you, even I have realized it. Yes, indeed you do have choice, you just have to make it.

My daughter just got her ears pierced, thanks for the tips on healing, cleansing and spotting infections that can occur from piercings. :)K

Oh boy do I ever relate. Thanks for the list of symptoms of stress and the reminder to diffuse it regaining balance and calm. :)K

Very true, recording my verbally abusive husband was the Ah Ha moment for me. Once I secretly recorded him I realized while playing it back that I never got a word in, he dominated the conversation as he blamed me for causing the problem while all the while I merely didn't act in a way he wanted me too. He would explode, the rage would ensue and verbal attack was extremely outrageously abusive. I only realized the enormity of it all once I was able to hear it played back in a safe environment. The shock of what takes place is always lead by the cover up of the attacker who refuses any responsibility. The only way to diffuse it is to let the rage take it's course without your input. Sad how long it takes anyone suffering with such abuse to actually realize they are in an abusive situation that is not acceptable AT ALL. Oh don't let me get started. Great article. Sincerely, katiem2

What great tips and advice, it seems online dating is the perfect platform for the socially awkward. :)K
