It will be hard for us to interact on the forum, as we are unsure of our ability to use the internet. Please don't hesitate to engage in the discussion though. There are very encouraging and experienced women that frequent this site. See you when we get back!

Hello, Friends.
I have posted a new article on the website called, "Leaving An Abuser: What to Expect and How to Stay Grounded." The piece was inspired by "conversations" I have had with some of you on the forum and others by e-mail.

Cindy,
I found your site today and I really feel that God has led me here. I plan to read your books as well, as they speak to some things I've been dealing with lately. I've been in an abusive marriage for 10 years now. He is emotionally, verbally and financially abusive and very controlling. ...

When we are striving to find peace and create a healthy environment as...

Dear Friends:
Perhaps like you, Thanksgiving brings to mind mixes remembrances - some of them rich with warmth and affection and others that are painful and better left in the past. But in these days, I hope we have the opportunity to focus on those things for which we have cause to be...

Hello: I'm brand new to this forum, actually I've never belonged to one before, so this an all-time first for me. I told my daughter about this site and she encouraged me to become a part of it. I am NOT new to the experience of being married to a narcissistic person. I have been married 27...

I am scared. I keep thinking that things are getting better and "oh we just fight, he isnt abusive". But then he calls me another name, or says hurtful things. He keeps everything bottled up inside instead of talking about it, and then he explodes and throws things and breaks things and...

I have a new article posted on the "Cindy's Story" tab called, "Working Through Bad Memories." I originally intended to call it "Bad Juju," but E-Zines wouldn't accept the title. I just want you to know it's there, and I hope it encourages you.

I don't understand it but I just feel so helpless sometimes. I mean I do everything I can but it never seems to be enough. Sorry if this turns out short but I'm attempting to ask for help and advice as quickly as possible and to ensure she doesn't notice what I'm doing. It seems that my life was...

So, for ten months I have been patient and accepted late, or incomplete amounts of child support. I let him know on Tuesday I hadn't received the payment yet. He made some grumbling about having to be patient with banks and mailing. By Friday I still had not received it. My name is still on the...
