You are just relaying what happened in your life, not complaining about it.<BR/><BR/>Frankly, I think it really speaks to your character, because you DIDN'T lose your faith, even though you were going through extremely trying times. That really says a lot about you as a person.That Chick Over Therehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03066031548129806050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20592566.post-73316185941797312542007-03-18T00:30:00.000-04:002007-03-18T00:30:00.000-04:00Wow, what pain!

My dad called me a whore and said I acted like a slut. Words that nearly killed me. Parents have to so watch what they say and how they say it to their children! It can destroy more lives then just the child's, as you can attest to. I am sorry you had to go through all that. You did for her what Neil did for me, the difference is, I finally excepted his love and she didn't except yours. I feel badly for you. Sexual abuse is so horrendous and it destroys so much. One of the uncles who abused me is now an alcoholic and the other one is addicted to porn. It is so sad to see this happen over and over again! I am interested in the next part of the story. <BR/><BR/>God bless you Alpha Dude, if your story can help one person, it will all have been worth it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20592566.post-52952082928913649042007-03-17T20:15:00.000-04:002007-03-17T20:15:00.000-04:00Ellie sent me this time.

I was also afraid it would sound whiney. I hope it didn't sound that way. What makes some of my posts so painful and difficult to write is because I am trying my best to tell it exactly the way it is. Not MY side of the story or only what makes me sound good, but the actual truth. The next part is even harder to write, but I'm trying.<BR/><BR/>I guess I forgot to mention that there were gold fish in the horse troughs to control the algae. So yeah, there were fish too.Alpha Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16073731050596870101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20592566.post-52915690015863775552007-03-17T14:28:00.000-04:002007-03-17T14:28:00.000-04:00I don't know how you put up with that kind of abus...I don't know how you put up with that kind of abuse for so long. I also don't think women realize how much they can influence their husband's attitudes and lives, for better or worse, just by the way she treats him. I love how open and honest you are about all this stuff. It certainly seems like a painful experience to go through!<BR/><BR/>Oh, and on a less serious note...a FISH. (You asked what more could anyone ask for) and a fish is what was missing in the picture. But just one, in a little glass fish bowl. Then you might have had it all. ;)Real Life in South Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04763002550956087587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20592566.post-92219018633460577882007-03-17T11:21:00.000-04:002007-03-17T11:21:00.000-04:00Boy I have a serious tendency to be controlling in...Boy I have a serious tendency to be controlling in my marriage.

She was very controlling of things when they were together and was the one to kick him out. They broke up over 3 years ago but she refuses to divorce him, its sad. <BR/>I am glad you are better now though and I can tell your relationship with your wife now is much better.my4kidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05877891733197763535noreply@blogger.com
