Message:   Hi everyone,
I've been reading the forum tonight and thought I might as well tell my story. I left, what i see now, was a perfectly good marriage to marry someone I barely knew. In hindsight, I see all the signs that I was being abused. I was stupid and married this person and even filed immigration papers for him. Several times he tried to choke me, he threatened to kill me, he alienated me from my family and friends. All because he could not leave my past in the past. The night I ran, I saw the picture of my two granddaughters on the desk and i was determined to make sure they had a grandmother alive. I had him arrested and i pressed charges and I filed for divorce. He served his time, and is now gone from the country. So that part is over. My problem now is that I cannot find a domestic violence support group in my town. I have called every number I have been given. All I find is rape and sexual abuse support groups. I did find a domestic violence roundtable that works with fixing the problems of education and support here in town. I am going to the next meeting next month!
I am so lonely though. I have thought about going back to my ex, he has been a wonderful support through this and I do miss him. But I don't know if he wants me back and I am too chicken to ask him. I do so good for several weeks, then I get depressed again. All I want to do is sit and cry. And want someone to hold me that I can trust. You know, take it away from me for a short period of time so i can relax a little bit. Sometimes I think I will just live alone and be crazy 'Grammy', I have two granddaughters. Other times I think I am going to go nuts if I have to be alone much longer. I have started the fence mending with my kids and that is going good. I'm happy to have my kids talking to me again. They are 29, 28 and 19. The only family I have here in town is my ex and two of my kids. I call my middle child all the time because she has been my rock through this whole thing.
I am proud of myself for getting out of that relationship and not caving in to his charm.
So that is my story.

Thanks for listening,
Debbi
