If the system is so inordinately successful, why do so many people visit RightsForMothers.com each day??? Gimme a break.

I hear you about the waiting. It seems like glaciers move faster than the system.

I’ll be revamping my site soon so I hope it will be easier for people to navigate. BTW, I’ve added your blog to my survivor blog roll.

I’m wondering if you’d be interested in reading a book about people who have crossed the bridge from domestic violence to thrive and find joy??? I’ve been collecting the stories of celebrities and famous people who have survived abuse. . .because I want to know what they know that I don’t.

And unfortunately, it got left behind when we left. We were only able to leave with a few backpacks because I was worried he would come back and find me leaving; there were guns in the house he had threatened me with in front of our son. So I got out as quick as I could. Blogs really help, and I have started my own. I look to others for similar experiences that are helpful. I want to heal and go on with my life, but the legal stuff isn’t finished yet. I hate the wait. I had joined a domestic violence blog one time, but when they asked me to edit my comments about how the system fails us, because they felt it was only my experience and not the norm, well, then I decided not to continue there.
