You are fortunate to be thick skinned enough to both forgive, and escape a horrible situation, with that intense negativity.
I had a neighbor, who, even though we did the best we could conveying guidance and advice, on how to go about separating herself from him.
From him and what?
From the broken arms, black eyes, imprinted hand bruises, the face through the drywall, and finally being thrown through a plate glass door, out into her backyard.
Lynn had plenty of opportunities to escape the beatings, the alcohol fuel rage, the madness of allowing herself to be physically, verbally, and mentally abused, but never able to thicken her skin enough to forgive herself, and get out of that life.
After a couple of years offering her our help, I eventually closed my door, and kept to ourselves. Eventually, they foreclosed on their house, and were evicted.
I'm happy for you, Melanie. It is clear to me, to James, and anyone with a thinking brain can see what an amazingly loving person you really are inside. Your family I know, must see the same
