Carrie & Peanut,

You guys are so great. I have considered leaving my husband numerous times, almost did it once. Then I realized I like being in one piece. I deal with his mood swings and protect myself and my son from his verbal abuse all the time - can you see why I am so tired? There is never a day, an hour that goes by without some stupid thing that I have to deal with. He is manic-depressive which definitely does not help my depression any.

There are no words to describe how exhausted I am, in mind & spirit. When I am online now, I hang out here because it is all that interests me these days.

Thank you everyone for your support.

Mary Alice
