Hey Drew...Thought you said you were gonna come every day!?!?!? Explanation please.
You seem to have alot going on...Writing a book, designing clothes and being a speaker... Do u have first hand exp on domestic violence? If too personal just say. I had a friend who left her husband for a man who beat on her and almost killed her when she wouldnt have an abortion. She ended up marrying this man after all that. I quit talking to her. I couldnt deal with the drama anymore. I tried to help but she would always go back and I was drained from all of it. I couldnt keep on like that. I do wonder what is up with her nowadays and if he still does it to her. Supposedly they live in Canebrake (a very fancy subdivision where the doctors live) and have a perfect little life. Somehow I find that hard to believe. The beatings werent just random they were everyday and she always defended him.. ALWAYS..
My brother also beats on his wife. She always calls me to come and get her. I will and then a few hours later she will call him to come get her and bring her home. The next week--same thing happens again. I just dont understand sometimes. But I guess if you arent in that situation you really cant understand.
We can have an honorary drawf named smart ass just in your favor.
Glad you made an appearance... haha

LMAOOO I was like who's DREW???
Lol yes I have been missing in action I was rushed into Oral surgery a week and a half ago or so they ended up pulling 3 teeth and for some reason the Novacaine wasnt numbing my mouth they ended up using way more shots than they usualy use... Then afterwards I couldnt tolerate any of the pain meds... I cant swallow pills just aint happening they gave me liquid tylenol and that just went right through before it even had a chance to work I tried crushing up some pain pills and it took forwever to work then when it did it lasted oh a whole 30 minutes so I was in some serious pain and my face swelled up something fierce it was horrid... I then had some issues with my youngest I was dealing with and my computer went down wonderful huh?? When it rains it pours...
DOmestic Violence... ughh.. Yes I have first hand experience My ex husband was arrested 3 times for domestic violence he was active duty military as well and it weirdly appeared that his command would do whatever they could to cover up for him the last incident he ended up breaking my right knee and my left ankle and punching me in the face 13 times.. I was rushed to the hospital and had to be given shots to get my blood pressure down it was horrible.. and the military again tried to cover up for him.. But my dad made some calls and told them that if they didnt want a Congressional Investigation they had better do something and do it fast.. Kinda helped he had spent 30 years in the same branch of the Military... But anyway.. THis guy was so sick I was diagnosed with Cancer this was the first time and I let him know Yes I stayed with him many times after the abuse as we usually do when our self asteem is so low anyway when I told him I was dioagnosed with cancer.. He divorced me so I couldnt get treatment.. I then fought with tricare and keesler and they treated me.. But yes first hand experience.. and let me tell you I know it may sound vain, and very out of character for me.. But everytime I drop our son off for him to visit The look on his face when he sees me now is more than enough gratification for me plus the fact that I am making something of myself but still, lol... It took a while for me to realize I didnt had to put up with it and I deserved better... I alwasy defended him as well.. And I was thankful to have good friends and family who helped me when I finally decided to leave.. I tell myself to this day in a way I am thankful for the experience becaseu you learn from every experience you go through.. and I am a stronger person now becaseu of it...
OHHHHH now we have 8 dwarfs, lmaoooo WOOHOOO
I am so looking forward to seeing everyone at the Keesler support group meeting tomorrow night
HUGSSSSS
