Quick hello.. finally heard frm my mom and my brother in Lake County and all is OK with them - no damage from the storm.

Yay!
That is good news, Fishy!

That's the biggest reason why I'm so slow to a second chance. Jay did this 3 years ago, got into church, claimed he'd changed - but 3 months later all those old anger habits caught back up with him. So this time around I'm giving it enough time to convince me it's for real. And honestly... last time he refused to see anyone (this time he had no choice on the court ordered stuff, but he was the one to set up the pastoral counseling and the therapist) For the longest time i was so embarassed to admit that we were seeing anyone... but then it hit me, that the more people I felt accountable too, the less likely I was to let him get away with anything again.. and sure enough... I'm alot stronger this time around.

I realized that if I allowed those things to happen, then something wasn't right in my own life and i wasn't as strong as i thought i was.... so I took a long hard look at myself and realized I had many things to work on too. So it's been a journey... one that won't end any time soon - but hopefully one that will result in a stronger lasting marriage in the end. And if not, then at least i know i tried my darndest. :)

((HUGS))
You are a very smart girlie.

I know what you mean about the anger...that's exactly what my friend's boyfriend's problem was. He's had to be put in a choke hold twice to keep him from hurting people.

But as long as you are learning from it too...and hopefully what you learn from this journey can help you either in this relationship with Jay...or if fate would have it...in a relationship with somebody new. You definitely can't say you don't learn something from the important relationships that impact your life...and I think you really have learned a lot from this trying time in your life. And I"m glad you are stronger because of it. Most of all, at least you ARE trying.
