I agree. I waited for a few pages for a reason.

And this is the end of me posting as luvdrunk. My real life support system did fail. No one had dealt with a situation a fraction of this magnitude, none the less one so great. No one has ever taken legal action on anything EVER in my family. Yes I admit I blindly ignored the warning signs for hopes of change, and I have learned never to make the mistake again.

If a mod wants to lock this thread/move it. Whatever, please do so. It purpose has ended and I will start to move on with my life and piece it back together.

Thanks again y'all.

You might want to ask ZTAngel or another mod to delete the thread.

Good luck!!!

I would definitely break it off. This is a scary road that I would not want to be on. Dx

Whatever you do decide to do, I wish you the best of luck and I hope everything will be fine for you!

I have to tell y'all something about my own experience. My exhusband had me so isolated, the only support system I had was my family, and that was because we have a family business. I didn't know that my parents had suspected something was going on, but wanted me to say the word. So, after reading an article about abuse, I somehow managed to say to my mother that we need a code word, and if I ever used it, she would know I needed help.

We chose "brussel sprouts".

We were thinking I could work that into a shopping conversation, but it wasn't one that came up everyday. The day I really needed it, I was crying so hard, I could only get "br...br...br...br..." out, and she didn't put two and two together. Within 10 minutes, though, she realized, and the calvary came. We laughed about it for years, and I will never be able to eat brussel sprouts without laughing!

Hang in there, luvdrunk. May you have better times ahead, and may you be able to laugh about it.
