I'm just graced to have found a different way of life--and I work to remain on this side of the disease. And I mean WORK.<br /><br />He ain't there. He ain't willing. He ain't the problem, dontchaknow.<br />And you're a very wisened one to keep the door closed, to chase what's best for you and yours.<br />Lots of people 'make babies'--being a DAD is a whole different story.<br /><br />The kiddos are old enough to decide today. Endorsing their decision and standing fast to yours may not be as difficult today. You got out of the insanity. You were smart.<br /><br />I'm sorry for what you and the kiddos had to endure.<br />I'm glad you have the support and love of Francis (with an 'I') and the support and love of others who care about you.<br />And if you find yourself waivering--or if we see you starting to buy the lies and BS....we'll holler REALLLLLLLLLLLY loud.<br /><br />((((((((((((( Lia )))))))))))))))<br /><br />Promise!!Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14408403855260279799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587860436342408680.post-23601779637069650872009-10-08T17:55:39.095+01:002009-10-08T17:55:39.095+01:00We're with you, Lia.

I am absolutely...Lia, thank you for posting this. <br /><br />I am absolutely devastated to hear what you've had to put up with at the hands of this monster. I had an uncle who put his family through this kind of pain as well, but no one ever stood up to him. They just let themselves be abused for the entire time he was alive. No matter what any of us did to try and help, they always stood by him and it was infuriating!!!!<br /><br />You are absolutely right in everything you said and I back you 100%, 24/7 on each and every word you've written. I ache because I wish you didn't have to live through all of this, but I am so so so proud of you for standing up for your kids, for yourself and for all the things you've accomplished despite living through this. You're an amazing, strong woman my dear...one I have always adored, respected and looked up to, and now more than ever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587860436342408680.post-90684024235853489902009-10-06T14:43:14.191+01:002009-10-06T14:43:14.191+01:00Thank you Mamma your a sweetheart.
As I said, I ju...Thank you Mamma your a sweetheart.<br />As I said, I just need the kids to get stronger.<br />People always talk about the alcoholic and how terrible it is for them. No one ever sees or asks about the misery that the alcoholic inflicts on their family and the long reaching effects of the alcoholics behaviour.<br />I will not permit that toxic man back into their lives at this stage, NOT when they are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. It's truly pitiful that he would want to just pop back into their lives again, yet one more act of selfishness on his part.<br />Thank you for your support,love and kindness.<br />Much love<br />Lia<br />xxLiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14561789091996849444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587860436342408680.post-38011256124511960702009-10-06T02:34:28.210+01:002009-10-06T02:34:28.210+01:00You go ahead and rant, you have every right to ran...You go ahead and rant, you have every right to rant, and swear, and dispise the man. May he find the rock he crawled out from under and go back to it. Hopefully, with the passing of time the kids are able to see the situation for what it was and how it is now. Prayers, thoughts and support headed your way.mamahasspokenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049292242708654609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587860436342408680.post-34613214626466045322009-10-06T02:05:37.149+01:002009-10-06T02:05:37.149+01:00Thank you dearest Shaddy.

Not when they are finally finding their feet. It's been the hardest on the older two. <br />Thanks for your love and support.<br />Lia xxLiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14561789091996849444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587860436342408680.post-64402119444021456992009-10-05T21:57:14.896+01:002009-10-05T21:57:14.896+01:00You have every right to be furious.
