Saw your post further down earlier and I was one of those who chose to say nothing. I am so sorry for that and for what you are going through. Your current post made me realize I should have done this immediately. Maybe you can Google for support groups in your area, some of the nonmedical people really get to where they know quite a lot and they certainly know what you are going through. Will pray for you both. L

I too have noticed the offending posts. No matter how lighthearted, someone puts a damper on things. Either that or makes downright rude comment.
However, with this thread, there does seem to be something "inside" about it. Others don't know what the conversation is all about and it is rude to carry on a conversation just opened to a few. More inclusivness is needed. Hope you understand.
Marilyn...you are a big-hearted
woman and a positive role model for those children. I applaud you for stepping in.
i have a Marilyn (sp?) bridge and it
works great. had a partial for a long time and hated it. had to take it in and out like dentures and was terribly embarrassed. the bridge also didn't cost as much. i've been told that there are drawbacks to bridges though, so might want to ask about that. good luck. i didn't smile for a long time.
Thanks Marilyn. I believe anything is possible. If I were say that my life is 100% perfect, I'd b
lying but having this man in my life is a true blessing. I've had to deal with the aftermath of raising 2 children that lived in the dysfunction. My daughter has issues due to the abuse she also suffered and no one would ever believe what we have gone through with this child (she is almost 20 and still a handful)..I pray somedays she will come to terms with everything and realize it wasnt her fault. I blamed myself for staying so long. My son is now 26, and at times, I see his father in him in regards to how he treats his GF with jealous fits, controlling etc.. and right then and there I have lined him out. As long as I am alive he will NEVER treat a female the way I was treated. I point blank told his GF that she should nip it in the bud NOW and not be so passive, because once you give them that power, you will have lost yours. She has slowly been standing up to him, and the more I have talked with him, the more he understands that what I really endured was abuse (he worships his dad). My daughter and I got the brunt of the abuse because we're female and all females are ...well you know the rest (in his opinion)... So, needless to say, my new husband (well not so new...5 years) and the love of my life has stood by me through all the awful teenage years and more. I have stories to tell...trust me.. but he loved me and stayed there. I still work 80-90 hours a week. I became a work alcoholic after years of being single and a single mom and am not sure how to stop. Obviously, my husband does not work but he is the house husband. He does all the cooking, cleaning, laundry etc..AND..he adopted my youngest son who was just a baby when we met..I just feel like God finally heard me..all those days and nights when I didnt think I could take another breathe and I prayed for it to end...he heard me..and brought me my angel.. Okay..that's my deal for the day.. back to work.. LOL Thanks for listening to my long, long story.
