So happy you and Wiley found each other - I've always loved your

story and thinking about Camelot North, etc.  Sorry he's not able to be home with you, but even though he's unwell the honeymoon continues at times. As for brutes who abuse their wives, been there too. Don't intend to give 'em any more of my valuable time thinking or talking about em - but I am sending you a big sisterly hug, dear Kabu.

Yes it must have saddened you, I suppose you were attractive and perhaps that was fatal. Well what am I saying you still are attractive. To our newcomers we nearly had duel once , Toothbrushes at dawn.

I did as well. But I never thought of my so-called father as a good example of one to marry.

I am sorry that you suffered at the hands of an abuser.

I have not met a single woman who hasn't experienced some form of abuse, from verbal to hand's on. It happens more than we could ever imagine. Awareness is the best way to stop future abuse situations, but even then, the best of intentions can be hidden behind an evil mind that is fighting their demons.

Abuse is a major problem in the world today. I would love to see it become extinct. We have to work hard to make that happen.

What an enlightening and sobering post, dear lady. Even after so much sadness and abuse that you've suffered, your heart is big and open and loving. That speaks volumes for your character. I have not suffered that but for all those who have, my heart hearts. Wiley was always destined to be your knight in shining armor, and the love you two share is undeterred by the trials and tribulations of this earth. A rose for both of you, sweet lady.

Kabu, I'm so sorry that you had to deal with what you've been through in your life.  The memories that you tell of women being abused is heart breaking.  It's hard for me to think of it.  I have not experienced anything like this but I do know there are many women that have and my heart goes out to them. 

It's also hard on the children that live in these families.  I worry about the families that are homeless now with no place to go and no family to help them.  Since my grandchildren were very young I've always told them that Grandma's door is always open to them.  I don't care what is going on they can come in the middle of the night if they need to.  I think it's important to have that bond with family so they know that their family is a safe harbor in a storm. We have girls and boys and I worry about all of them. It's a different world we live in today. 

Kabu, I'm thinking your circumstances kept you in an abusive relationship and I'm so very sorry.  From what I know abusers can be very controlling and they manipulate situations. I have felt for a while now that society is breaking down at a fast rate of speed.  I hope I don't sound negative but it's the way I'm seeing things.

On a positive note I'm so thankful that you and Wiley found each other!
