LostMom3,

Bless you. I mean it. Bless you for drawing up that crazy kind of courage and leaving. I do not mean that you are crazy. You are amazing, but to leave an abusive man takes a special kind of courage. A courage in which you must endure the stress of every nerve in your body, where the slightest puff of air sucks your heart into your throat and causes a constant buzzing in your head that makes it almost impossible to listen for car doors and footfalls. It is almost pure madness in its bravery...crazy-courage.

Now that you have been blessed, I pray you possess the courage to stay away,
