The thought occurs to me this morning, that if someone took the time to read what I've posted here, which is the truth, then at least they know that others are reading my story, and maybe just maybe (wishful thinking), being that the people responsible have read the truth of what I shared, they might either change or at least think twice before wounding another.  I do know that the worst thing a person can do when there is an abuse cycle involved, is to keep silent (unless they are in physical danger should they speak up).

My Bible tells me not to "fear what mancan do, who can destroy the body, but to "fear" God who can destroy both body and soul in hell."  (in other words, I do not live my life voiceless and fearful of these types of people, nor will I apologize for something I did NOT do, unless GOD tells me to."

and, since my name was already mentioned, I no longer have to remain anonymous either.

I commend your strength, and your truth.  If I were in your situation, I am sure I could not be so strong. 

With you all the way.

Hi RM,

I am really sorry about what has been happening on the site with this WOW person. All I can say is that you don't have to feel like you need to defend yourself. This is a place where all of us vent our feelings and feel safe to say things that we may choose not to say elsewhere for whatever our personal reasons might be.

Ours is not to judge and yours is not to have to defend. I think that it is safe to say based on all the posts that I have read that the actions of this WOW person have not been appreciated.  I have also been thinking that one very big positive coming out of all this is that is that you can really see how much support you have from your friends here.

Stay strong as you are.

Thank you so much for sharing your heart with me here.  There are some wonderful people on this board who truly seem to care about me.  I appreciate all of them.  I showed my Mom some of your replies and she says I'm really BLESSED to have you all in my life.
