thank you . . . Heidu . . . mj . . . Willow

it's times like this when ya realize how powerful these forums really are. even though i'm safe, i'm not in a healthy environment. responses like the ones you all wrote help me deal with the stress. thanks again!!! (((Huggs)))

i don't know what else to say except i'm going to search online more about what is typical behavior of abusers. maybe i'll show the website to my father, too. if you know of any websites written TO "former" abusers...let me know.
