BellaOnline Forums Relationships Domestic Violence Sorry for the absence

I must apologize for my absence. I am going through another legal battle pertaining to my ex. I can't talk about it here, but it is something that is going to be a happy event and another step in the moving on process for me and the kids. I could really use any prayer/candlelighting/energy sending, etc whatever you chose sent my way. I even considered giving this site up but I have been here for 7 years and writing articles and talking to everyone has been half of my biggest source of healing from what I went through. I just couldn't walk away

Jeanette, Sending many good thoughts your way as you deal with these things ...It was weird for so long I was way from here but checked my email as saw new posts for here.. everyone needs time away but its good you come back and are making good changes for your self and the family.

thanks kerri. that is a new feature BellaOnline has implemented. I rather like it myself because i usually only have time once a week to come to the forum but getting an email will bring my attention to things more.

Glad you're back and that things are moving forward for you and your children, Jeanette. Of course, you will be in our prayers.

So many readers need you!

Thank you Lori. I mentioned to some people that I thought about giving this site up but I have been at this for many years and it helps me to help others.

We're glad you're here!

And, you too have support. It takes ALOT of sustenance, mostly energy to escape, let alone, the ongoing legalities some abusers insist on continuing or that must continue due to changes being made, children, etc.

7 years is a good "round" number! For whatever reason, 7's and 3's have always been a good guide post for myself.

I also wanted to express to you, that if it weren't for you and your trials (experiences) many women wouldn't have recieved the type of support they're experiencing here, at your side, right along with you.

Glad you're back
