Dots's shout trail with Joey_PR - Help.com

Good news after good news is what Im seeing. I sincerely wish you the best, and since you are taking the right steps, I know things will work out for you.
You have the courage, and from what I have read, your are developing your strength as a person.

Stay the person you essentially are Dots, and good luck.
I hope you are smiling right now too
=P

Take care.

Yeah, I’m moving out of the state in about a month, and so the only time I would ever see him from here on out, is if and when they need me to testify against him in court, which I agreed to do today when I spoke with my state attorney. And my mom is having my number changed soon, so it should get better soon…

And nice to meet you too :D

Although I’m still confused, it does help clear my thoughts.

Yea, I know you are and its normal to feel that way now.
Your heart is still vulnerable Dots, and you being as loving and caring as you are, it gets emotionally difficult to deal with.
Thats why you have to stay away from contacting him or him to you.
You are in the initial stages of the healing process.
You will get better though, I know this for a fact.

So thank you for that

You are always welcome.
Pleasure to meet you, BTW
=)

Honestly, if I didn’t see this type of thing growing up, I probably never would have left, but like you, I witnessed abusive relationships. My aunt is still stuck, and although my father never hit my mom, he was verbally abusive until she left 5 years ago. She’s been really helpful…

And just talking to someone about everything, as I’m talking to everyone on help now, has been really helpful… Although I’m still confused, it does help clear my thoughts. So thank you for that
:D

Awesome.
I admire you, really. What you are doing is hard and I personally know cases where a friend, and one person I dearly loved weren’t strong enough to get out of their abusive relationships. I had one sister who was in one when she was younger and 4 kids later, single, is paying the price.

Thats why it makes me sad when I hear cases like yours, most women are so loving (i was raised between women…no dad = 4 sisters 1 mom and 1 grandma). Makes me angry “men” that treat women like sh’t, but I always have kept my distance in the cases I have seen, only helping where I could (as to what final desision to make) because its always up to the woman.

Sorry to vent Dots, haha…
I hope you are still doing well.
Thank you and truthfully I have no idea how I could help you but if you think I can, let me know. I’ll be glad to.

See you around Dots, take care.

I’m doing well… My mom and I are finishing up some college applications today, so hopefully I will be in school again by the summer.
