No matter how bad it gets, people grow comfortable with the status quo. To confront him is to make life changes and face the risk of his wrath. Good for you for moving forward.<br /><br />Joyce<br />http://joycelansky.blogspot.com/2012/03/writers-post-meets-silly-sunday-energy.htmlCatch My Wordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06338761214938263819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028902712658025433.post-76804881172691448872012-03-10T20:05:09.578-06:002012-03-10T20:05:09.578-06:00stand up for you! always! good write, laura.stand up for you! always! good write, laura.danneromerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09268830006681589842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028902712658025433.post-61192820710841699452012-03-09T23:21:22.512-06:002012-03-09T23:21:22.512-06:00Man, unless you have lived it, people just don'...Man, unless you have lived it, people just don't realize how bad emotional manipulation and abuse can be!

Telling it straight out is the only way to tell your story. It happened and it changed you. It's horrid, but the result is magnificent. One strong, beautiful and loving heart emerged from that storm of hate and abuse. <br />Someone may read your tale and gather themselves up and make the move away from abuse. Keep sharing.<br />♥Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18285427147723972295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028902712658025433.post-78269625651298173852012-03-09T00:19:25.245-06:002012-03-09T00:19:25.245-06:00Hmmm..another devil in the flesh story here.

Mostly, we feel the person we fear about would actually kill us but you'll never know how weak that person is until you try to scare him too.They turn out to be cowards. Really.Thanks for sharing.

I'm quite good at "going to bat" for them. <br /><br />That part where you had to confront that guy that came at you swinging was scary. Living with a monster also has to be scary. I'm glad you are no longer in that situation, for the most part!! You are stronger because of all of this confronting, I am sure--but nonetheless--confrontation is not something many of us enjoy. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing and for giving it straight up.
