Absolutely riveting reading. I am usually a fast reader but I had to slow down for this one. So many things you've written ring true for those that have been abused. I admire your determination to transcend this.

You have done brilliantly - not many could have coped as you have. Good luck with the driving test - being able to drive will give you even more independence and confidence.

I admire your courage and perseverance.
Staring a new life while battling severe depression is no easy task. Been there and done that, thogh my circumstances were not so dire as yours. You seem to be making all the right choices for yourself and your children. I wish you strength and love as you continue the journey in your new life.

The biggest and toughest step to take is to walk away into the unfamiliar
I knew that once you took that BIG step everything else will fall into place. I believe you will be doing great things with your life. That is my prediction :)

Dear dear Symphony
I have to go back and re-read these. This brought tears of joy to my eyes. You have a wonderful purpose, yes you do. You are doing it looks like to me. I cannot imagine the children being so grown up now. God has blessed you and it has been really difficult for you but your life will be so rewarding because you are purposed for great things and a life like that comes at a high price. I am so happy about your daughter's singing, the voice she got from her Mum. So happy about the eczema being almost gone and finding the allergy. Oh so glad you are back, you are a true miracle story and you worked it all yourself. God bless you.
You are all three stars...

You make me think of gems...
You don't 'fix' a diamond. You extract it from the mud and stone deep in the earth, and wash it off, then you clean away the matrix rock that clings to it and obscures its potential beauty; you polish and tap at it, shape it and polish somemore...
You are a diamond.
You always were, and deep inside you always knew. You had to extract and clean and polish yourself, where many have others to do the early work--loving parents, supportive friends, smart teachers... and you did it. You have earned the brilliance that others can now see and admire, and have found your setting...

What a wonderful accomplishment! My goodness, I feel so proud of you, though I don't know you and am new to Blogit. Facing down terror, feeling obligation for children--not knowing what was best for them, really, what a war, within and without. One thing is for sure, and that is that you won. Our worst foe is ourselves, but you are admirable that you had the courage to jump into the unknown, not even knowing there was a parachute. It obviously (now) was the right move. Thanks for an awe-inspiring true-life adventure; enjoy your future triumphs (which have to be less than you have already). Wish you sweet success as you blossom into your future.

Time is a great healer, it is possible to feel old at 25 and young at 99. Well hopefully. The first part is true anyway. And you have bitten the bullet.

you are very brave and it sounds like you got your act together, I know my daughter had a bad man in her life, but he wont change until he is ready, they have to look at the whole picture and make a decision. Hope the kids survive all what happened and dont make the same mistakes

It is a tough road! But you are to be commended for doing what you had to at the time to survive! I know the abuse you speak of, it is damaging but it is not crippling! I am very pleased to learn of your fantastic progress of undoing what had happened! Your children will be the stronger for it! I know that to be true for I have young adult now; I had to uproot them and move 2,500 miles from my ex for safety! The kids know what I did for them and appreciate so much now they are in their 20's and successful! Yours will be the same, I am convinced because they have you! sam
