Screamer:
Dear all,

Thank you so much for your responses.  I am very appreciative.  I got a lot from reading your posts.  

I think I've been silent so long, that now I feel like screaming all the time, but it still seems like no one can really hear me.  (At least until I found this board.)

My husband is the most wonderful man alive.  He really tries to see the truth about my family, but sometimes I'm afraid my mother can pull the wool over his eyes.  Not long ago we went to visit my grandparents.  They are my father's parents and I never told them about what he did.  My grandmother is usually critical, and a even a little mean, but not this time.  My whole family bends over backwards to look so wonderful in public.  

The truth is always hard to see.  Thank you for taking the time to read and respond to my truth.  I really needed to just be acknowledged and I am very grateful to all of you.

Thank you!

Dear Screamer,

I like your user name.  I was a screamer most of my life!!!!!  Until I got on medication, and by that time my dad had Alzheimer's Disease and was pretty harmless; and I was out of 3 abusive marriages, too.  Plus now I have therapy, etc etc.  But when my family really pushes my buttons, I still scream.  It just isn't for 6 hours straight, like it used to be.

Anyway, I read through all the posts in your thread, but I didn't see anything about either your legal rights or your mother's legal rights (or your future children's legal rights, via you).  I hope someone can help you along those lines, because maybe legal issues will come up.  I know grandparents sometimes will use the law to get access to their grandchildren.

Your story moves me very much.  But you are strong now, and I am so happy for you that you have had the wonderful fortune to find a man who is so fine.  It took me many relationships, and until age 61, to find such a man. But he's here!! I didn't think they really existed!! I found out they did, though, through an e-pal in Britain who has one!!!! God has blessed the good men, and I thank Him for all of those men who love us who care for them -- they treat us like precious gold and we treat them the same.
