Kind-hearted Connie, thank you for your supportive words. I can stand strong, as this exit has been so empowering. No less difficault, though past situations had not killed me, merely added amazing perspective and fortitude! Thank you fo much for being 'so YOU'! Sure looking forward to meeting you in person soon! Hugs galore, Patti

Patti, I have to be totally honest with you - I was really sad when I realized you had gotten back together with him. From my great distance, I could already see that he wasn't a good thing, but it was none of my business, not my place to say. I hope that you will remain strong, and not allow him to reel you back in should he try to do so. You deserve better - even if better means being alone. I'm not close enough to Hopkins to offer you rides any old time, but my offer to get you to the PNC support group meetings every 2nd & 4th Wednesday night stands firm. You have my number.

Hello dear dynamic Darla, I'm so appreciative of your 'brutal honesty' often seen on the board here. I'm so grateful and at peace being free! Don't be concerned about rides other than PNC, as several others offered, plus I've now got plenty of Metro Mobility passes to keep active with the various groups and coffees. Looking forward to seeing more of you!

(((HUGS))) I am so sorry to hear all that you have gone through, and I am very proud of you for getting out of there when he became violent again. I understand second chances especially when it is with someone you care about and have become co-dependant with. I just want to urge you to stay strong and to focus on making sure you are doing well and geting your meds (especially that daily MS shot) in on time. I will say a special prayer that you are able to get all of the legal stuff resolved and let go completely of what appears to have been a not so healthy relationship. I am also very proud to hear that you are staarting the 5 day pouch test and exercise I think that, that too may help you to feel better physically. Stay strong and live one day at a time!
