- Go to PAUL VS THE THURSDAY MORNING WRITERS GROUP
You dealt with Paul and the sickening situation perfectly. What a miserable excuse of a person...

He's a control freak and she may never gather the courage to leave him. How sad!

My bristles are up!!!LOL. Yet when one is in the position as his wife was, it is so difficult to get away from. I know and you know that one blames themselves most of the time when being abused.

Good Morning
Oh my goodness! Paul is what I would call a controller. He could not control the Morning writers group and because of that he was rude, obnoxious and I want to say belligerent but I'm not sure that's the right word. I can handle people like Paul but to see how he treated Beth was almost more than what I could take. I wish she could have gone to counseling to get the help that she needed. I've looked evil squarely in the face and I know how to deal with it but for people like Beth, my heart goes out to her. I've seen so many people suffer at the hands of others and it's very upsetting. Thankfully my family has always had me and I keep evil away from them. I would describe myself as a gentle soul but not if I see someone being hurt. I then turn into a totally different person. I think it's just the way I was made.

I forgot to add that I love how you guys welcome writing and telling the stories without the grammar or punctuation police ready to make an arrest.

I wish that I had a supportive group like yours.
Oh geez. Poor Beth. One day she might see what a controlling and miserable human her husband is, but it will probably be too late, and that is really sad. Your group could have really helped her to build up some inner strength and understanding that she deserved better. I am a "Me Too" survivor. I have gotten really good at spotting callous, narcissistic, controlling, and detached predators. Having three daughters and a granddaughter to protect has helped me with the signs and that wisdom.
