[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 263964, member: 1233"] Hi Addie!!! I am SO GLAD you popped in. I was just thinking of you on Easter for some reason. Not sure if you remember me. The child I call Wiz here on the board is my much loved Brandon. He was abusing his little sis and keeping her quiet by threatening to kill our youngest, Tyler. He had a long psychiatric hospital stay when we learned of htis. Fast forward to now: Wiz is a charming, sweet, caring young man who is making some really good choices. He graduates high school this year and is going to the tech school to learn to be a machinist. He also has his first job! It is a total turnaround from where he was when I last heard from you! Jessie and thank you are great kids, each doing the best they can. I also don't remember why you left. I was probably caught up in a lot of conflama (conflict + drama = conflama) with my extended family. I am just glad to have you back with us. I am sorry your Jessie did not accept the love you gave her or the tools you taught her. I hate that she hurt you the way she did. I know how scary that abused woman position is. It is why Wiz now lives with my parents. I think in some ways it is much worse to be a battered mother than a battered wife. With wives they ask why you didn't leave. With mothers they ask why you created a person who would beat you, almost as though they think you are asking for it. I am glad you are out of that position now. I hope you have worked with a therapist to process all that you went through during those rough times. I ahve to agree with Star - I always thought Chrissie would be the one who would stick with you always, even if she didn't live with you. Sooner or later she will want you back in her life again. She knows you love her. David sounds like he has his life on the right path for happiness and success. That is just great. I love to hear the success stories! Stick around for a while. Let us know about your 12yo's. I would love to hear all about them! HUGS!!! Susie [/QUOTE]
