I'm in a no win relationship. He controls everything I do, including how much time I used to take a crap...I'm so tired of always defending my daughter and myself. And always hurring to shut off my computer before he gets home. I'm not allowed on the computer, to read books or magazines, go through coupons or anything else that would take time away from him (oh,,, and that includes talking to family and friends on the phone). Last night he threw a remote and busted it because we were arguing over the fact that I received a phone call from a friend in IN while he was home, and I walked away & told him to kiss my a%@. I just wish that I had enough income to survive out there without him and could find a place that is going to allow me to have my dogs. I'm not getting rid of them or my gehko. I'm sick of thinking, when it's time for him to come home "Well, what is he going to come in screaming about today?" I just want one day of peace for myself and my daughter. I wish that my husband had never passed away, and that I could go back to the life I had before he passed. My girls and I were so happy. Anyway, that is what is going on with me today......

I know how lucky I am to have the wonderful man that I have. I think sometimes we take each other for granite and just go about our day. I truly appreciate that he allows me to be who I am and still loves me after I have one of my crying....screaming....crazy fits. He is the best! I'm sorry that you are so unhappy! Its so wrong for someone that is so unsure about themselves tries to control someone else and to try to take away their identity just to make themselves feel better. To not let you talk to others because he knows that if you do you will know that there is something better out there (like you dont already know) There are people out there that would help you....have you looked? I wish there was something I could do to help you.
I see why your have started taking pictures now. That is something that is YOURS! You have a wonderful eye as to how to take the picture and what you are wanting to get from it. It is something that you can do that takes you away from what is happening in your life right now. I only wish the very best for you my friend.
