Hi Dennis 🙂 Thanks for giving us an update… and wow! What great news! I was especially happy to read that you have your little buddies back with you.Re: Do abusers ever change? I ask you… Do snakes have armpits? Do chickens have lips? I think they never get over it that they’ve lost control. I thought the same thing about my x. I thought he would become more civilized after we separated… never happened. They seem to believe they are entitled to treat us anyway they see fit. I laughed when I read you just push the ‘Delete’ button … damn right!A friend of mine told me she says a mantra, or whatever you want to call it, when someone is making her life miserable. She says… ‘I wish you well away from me.’ She swears it works like a charm.How wonderful that you’ve have met someone! It truly is nice to have a special someone to share a walk with, to hold a hand, enjoy a movie, talk about meaningful things or talk about nothing at all, to share a smile and a laugh. I can imagine you just shaking your head at times over the difference between a normal, healthy person and (cough) .Dennis, you said it all when you wrote those four little words… I am happy now. I have been wondering how you were doing… hoping that you were happy… and you are. Congratulations my friend! You’ve won the battle. Now you just have the odd little skirmish to deal with. As Tony Montana in would say.. Piece of cake Mang!Keeping on taking good care of yourself kind spirit… I’ll be thinking about you and wishing you happiness and love… always.
