Just wanted to let you all know that after many years of strife, Russ and I have split up. I can't even go within 2 blocks of the house right now. There is a court hearing on August 22nd when I can arrange to get all my things. Thankfully a friend of mine has offered his home to me. On Tuesday I have a CT Mylegram for my neck, and a week after that a follow up with the Neurosurgeon. So as you can see, I can't even go get a job at this point. It all happened on Thursday. I cried for about 2 days straight - but I don't think I even have any tears left. Please pray for me or think of me. I will try to check in periodically. My friend has dial-up on his phone line so I am making a big busy signal every time I go online.
Love and miss you all.
Karrie
Won't be around much

Oh Karrie, I am so sorry. I will keep you in my prayers daily, for I know how hard it is to go through something like this. I can't even imagine all of this going on at the same time as your tests on your neck. Please know that we all are back here missing you and keeping you close to our hearts, I am. Know that someone and everyone here understands. Bless your heart sweetie!
((((Karrie))))

You know I am thinking of you, Karrie. You must be so sad. I am so sorry.
Hi, logged on again for a short period of time. Thank you all for your support. I don't have a pay pal account. Russ paid for my subscription here with his credit card.
Yes, I am sad. But perhaps this is for the best. It was an abusive relationship that was escalating from worse to worst. Starting over is difficult and painful. But I will do my best to keep my chin up and hope for a better tommorow.

Karrie,

Things always happen for a reason, Karrie...
Sometimes we don't know what it might be...at first. But in the end, it works out for the best.
Good luck to you...
Karrie - you are the brave one here - it takes so much courage to stand up for yourself. You have many friends here - lean on us - know we support you, pray for you and are here to listen. Blaine is right - making the decision to walk away while you can is the hardest part.

Karrie...I just found this. It is the pits! You ARE strong, you are beautiful, capable, funny and YOU CAN DO THIS! I went thru a similar situation 35 years ago and I was pregnant and totally a mess. Your sisters and brothers are with you. What seems like a mountain today is a pile of $&^*! tomorrow...and tomorrow will be there soon.
Aloha nui loa and Blessings

I thought I was out of tears, but after reading these posts I broke down again. It's alright. I think it is alright to cry sometimes. Bless all of you.
It is alright to cry sometimes.......You can cry on my shoulders.....if you want......my prayers continue......
Kerrie,
My sister went through a similar situation. Only he didn't abuse her physically he abused her mentally by making her feel less than she was so he could feel like THE MAN. He also ran around on her all the time. My sister is a very nice person to a fault. She always felt sorry for him and took him back after he promised NEVER to do it again. Well as we all know those promises are only manipulation at its best. The thing that finally drove the message home for her was when I told her that her daughter would marry the same kind of man because this is what they knew. My father also ran around on my mother. See the pattern? When we grow up in a disfunctional family we decide early on to either be the victum or the perpitrator. My sister decided to be the victum because deep down inside she thought she wasn't worth more due an abortion she had in high school. As a result of that she was told she was damaged goods and she believed it. Most women become the victum because our mothers taught us to do so.
I know this seems very very hard for you right now. But once you get away from him and don't hear his manipulative words you will finally be free. One day you'll say "Darn what did I see in that jerk and why did I stay so long". Fear is the only thing that keeps women in a situation like that, fear of the unknown. But what you must remember is that once you are no longer afraid you are free to be you, the you he distroyed many years ago. Trust me, you will be the better for it. He'll find someone else to kick around. This is the first day of your life. Take pride in what you did and know that you are stronger than most women. You should be very proud that you did it. So once you have done all your crying start making plans for your new life with out the chains. We are hear to help you. I will send you a private email later on hope you can get.
Congratulations on knowing that you are worth more!
Hugs,
Daisy
Karrie,
Much love to you. Please concentrate on your health and get yourself well. This is a very difficult time, I'm speaking from experience too, but just know that on the other side is sunshine and flowers and your life will improve more than you can believe! Keep your head up and your eyes forward. The good stuff is ahead, and you deserve to live a happy life. Love and prayers to you.
Karen
Karrie,
Prayers to you that all will be okay! Things happen for a reason, and I know that the ever loving Lord will be with you always through this troubling time. Just as in Footprints, I know after these situations pass, you will look back and see only one set of footprints on the path you walked, that's because the Lord would have carried you through! God Bless, and we are all here for you!
Dave
