Ex-husband MS at the time. Was busted by the police for being a peeping tom. Charges pressed. Court hearing recommended counseling. Which he lasted one session.

There were no consequences given from the Elders. He told me that he told them. The response "was you know how men are?" And supposedly excused his behavior. I have a sense the ex was not telling the truth.

Shortly after we moved. Thats the pattern when situations get hot. Move out of Dodge!!!!

The guy has been running ever since 1971!!!!!!

Get over it! To me feels insenitive and not respecting another feelings.

Get over it! That is the same statement I heard from family when I took the risk of sharing sexual abuse. And internally recoiled within myself carried those secrets for 35 yrs. I thought it was my fault! And gratefully I don't feel that way now.

I am grateful for these posts helps me in my healing process and to acknowledge those feelings.To find out I was'nt the only one to have them. "Its not about the destination but the journy".

To be honest If I had'nt worked on my issues and seen that statement Get Over It! I would'nt come back!!

True we all are on a journey only different places on the path of recovery. There is no right or wrong way how we travel.

Chevy I hope this is a learning opportunity for you.

I am proud of you. And it is a challenge one day at a time. It gets easier as time goes on.

The nicotene is out of your body. Its that little monkey that sits on your shoulder next to your ear. whispers in your ear says feed me feed me!!!!!!

One thing I learned from one of the Docs at work. He made the decision to quit and not to be concern about the weight gain. And to focus your energy on being smoke free. The weight can be dealt with later. Its true I packed on some pounds. When the time came I could focus on weight loss. I did . People are teachers when the student is ready they will take care of matters.

For most people it takes many times to quit. So be gentle with yourself.

Glad to hear others putting out fliers too.

Here in Minnesota I mailed out 62 fliers in Minneapolis, St. Paul and others throughout the state.

I have many fliers leftover putting them in public place's that allow me to leave.

A way of planting seeds. Some won't do a thing, some may sprout,and some will grow. Anyway SL's is being echo'ed throughout Minnesota.

Very empowering experience.

haunting dream

Sorry Hit the wrong button

Do you ever have dreams keep haunting you?

What I realize its result of PTSD. One of the threads of my life is dealing with domestic abuse. I've been out of the marriage now for 21 yrs.

My daughters in the dream are the age when I left the marriage . They are about 7 and 12 yrs old. We are running for our lives being chased by him and the nazi's and put into camps. And half of us are being executed . It was horrible I was the next one. They using some kind a chemical warfare. At that point I woke up.

It was one of those dreams that kinda stick with you like glue. It does make me angry at times to have deal with this character. I guess its understandable having been badly burned by this guy.( mean emotionally)

Maybe sometime in my dreams this guy will die??

Thanks for letting me vent.
