Ping.
or could it be that women who are more likely to go mad are also more likely to want to divorce?
My health greatly improved.
I had no more head, neck or body pain from being hit, choked and slammed into walls and floors.
Talk about instant miracle cures.....:)
Becoming free from violence can "do a body good."
You shouldn't have been divorced, you should have been widowed. Glad you got out!
I don't believe this, for the men or women. I know my health was not as good due to the increased stress. I found out my ex was cheating, taking the kids away from me and fighting me at every step ofver simple crap. I started smoking twice as much, and excercising less. My health suffered, but it will improve, and i am no longer married to the skank.
Should have adjusted it for who initiated the divorce...and why, as well.
Some have a reduction in stress by splitting the sheets. Granted, economic worries may take precedence, but there are worse things.
They should also do a follow-up on the former husbands and see how they are doing...
LOL!
Would've been a better outcome but I *really* look awful in stripes.....:)
[actually, the last time he tried to strangle me, my dog interfered long enough for me to manage to tell him that I'd blow his head off the next time he slept. the final straw was that swing he took at my dog. he hid my bullets and left the next day.]
Do a good deed; say a prayer for his second wife.
Poor thing doesn't have a clue as to *why* he fled the east coast and ran as far west as he could.
I'll say....LOL!
The sad part is that my new hubby couldn't understand why I ducked or flinched every time he moved too suddenly.
It was sort of embarrassing for him if we were in public.....:-\
Even 14 non-violent, loving and patient years later, I still have to consciously control that "cringe" reaction.
Still have peripheral nerve damage and pain from the neck fracture, though, dang it.
I am happy that you are now free and hope divine providence will be as kind to you as it has been to me....:)
I do know now that there's no such thing as a "just one slap/I'll never do it again" promise.
I don't have an actual range but I do have 200 acres of mountain behind me and a lot of empty tin cans.
[and I learned that eveyone should have some "spare" bullets "hidden", too]...LOL!
The scars that don't show take longest to heal. Sounds like your new hubby is what you really neeeded. May God shower you both with His blessings.
I wish a pox on my ex. Smallpox, cowpox, monkeypox, it makes no difference what the [expletive deleted] catches, just so she suffers!
Thanks Joe.
[personally I think God built the new hubby especially for me. he's everything I ever wanted or needed. I believe I have been blessed]....:]
We have found a few things that help with the pain. Epsom salt baths in our jacuzzi tub. I built one in our bathroom for her personal therapy. She can soak up to the chin in it and direct the flow at her neck. We use inflatable pillows to suspend her and help direct the flow of hot water. We bought one of those comfortaire beds. She likes it, and it helped, but what really helped her was the therapeutic pillows filled with gel-beads. She sleeps comfortably because of that more than the bed. We are going to get rid of the air bed and get a heavenly bed, because we found that she sleeps better on those now.
Trial and error. Thank God she's comfortable. Prayers that you find comfort, too!
*MOUSE POX*!
