Hello Karen,
I hope that getting this out in public and addressing it will give you a little bit of relief. I'm sorry that you ran into such a piece of work and that you were mistreated for so long. I'm at a loss as to what goes through a lady's mind after she has been abused. I would like to think that once would be all it would take before I'd be gone, but the heart is a strange character, and logic has nothing to do with love I suppose. I sincerely hope that you're not in danger of losing your home. I know you just moved.
For the record, I've been speaking to God on your behalf. Regardless of the turns your life has taken, He loves you so much. I don't know what plans He has for you, but they are good. I hope that blessings are heaped upon you soon. Hang in there gal. Thanks for sharing.
Have a blessed day.
Tom

Having children, sick relatives.Being sick myself. Religion and the church tells you it's for life, many reasons. It takes a lot to make me give up. But, I ran for my life. Thanks for your good wishes. Karen
Comment from Brenda Strauser
Wow, what a poem. So, most of this is true. The poem was very descriptive. Yoyr emotions were well expressed throughout your poem. Men can be a real pain sometimes. Great job Karen. Love, Brenda

This story was 95% true. He still has his eyeballs. I may have a lot of anger towards him, but I am not foolhardy or stupid. We remain in contact until the divorce is finished, then he and his family are cut off. They are all toxic. Love to you and yours. Karen
Comment from Ric Myworld
I guess most all of us can tell a few nightmares through our lives and relationships over the years. And I think most of us are or have been torn between love and hate. It's like the saying goes, "There's a thin line between love and hate." Thanks for sharing.

Yep, I have had a very lived life. No really boring bits. Would I pick boring and dull to replace all the anguish? Probably not. :-) Thanks for the read. Karen
Comment from Jim Wile
Wow, Karen. What a riveting story! Nice beginning with the blood and hints of other body parts. We know something awful is going to happen, and I like the way you built it up gradually throughout the story.
Quinton sounds like the ultimate narcissist, incapable of loving anyone except himself, but he must be charming in some ways that snagged you into being with him as long as you were. Sounds like a deserving end to Quinton and a satisfying end for you. And yet, you still occasionally miss him! Go figure.

Comment from SimianSavant
Ok so there are a bunch of little proofreading things (like misplaced spacing, a run-on sentence here or there, which I'm not going to cover in any detail) but this was one gripping read. You packed a lot of material in. There's something about real life that is very hard to reproduce with fiction, and you captured half a life story in here, full of vulnerability and pain and humor. Well done and if you want me to go over the little proofreading things in detail I can do that.

Comment from jim vecchio
If this is 95% true, I am speechless. To say "I'm sorry you underwent all this" is so insufficient. At least you can write your way out of a problem. I'm glad you didn't do the other 5%. This was a very candid piece of writing.

It was been haunting me, so, I wrote it out. Then, I thought if it helps even one person. Then it was worth writing. It was hard to do. But, I feel the anger because he just told me that he has $65,000.00 coming to him from SSI, and he did not offer me any. I am almost on the street in two months. And he offers me nothing. My head wants to explode. Thanks for the read. Karen

All I can tell you was that I always tried to meet my wife's needs, and I was fortunate. She really didn't ask for much.

Some people do not see past themselves. I had never met anyone like him before. My family did not talk about dating, marraige children, anything. I was brainy smart, but not prepared for real life.
I survived. I moved on again.
I adapt, I have good friends like you. And that helps a lot. :-) Karen

Comment from karenina
What can I say? I feel I should be appalled at what happened to this "man" -- but instead I am appalled that anyone would treat you this way at all...even if 5% is fiction.
You have this manic sort of logic that has me rooting for violence. I'll have to check with a counselor about that...
(Not really -- smile)
Point of fact? After working with abused women for years I have no clue how they last months, even years, without sticking a fork in the abuser's carotid and walking away.
In some parallel universe, these freakzoids get what's coming to them.
Until then I can count on you for justice a la the written word!

Comment from Wayne Fowler
Nice story, except for him not dying and you still missing him.
I am like "Dragnet," just the facts ma'am. - I don't think it's just me but you are highlighting the TV show 'Dragnet', not a show 'Dragnet,', so the quotes, which are being employed in the place of another style of highlighting, should be inside the punctuation. The rule book for quotations does not apply.
Now, at the time I did not know this. - You could use a comma after 'time'.
" Compatibility Unlimited." - same as above. Also, you have an errant space.
Thirty six years - Thirty-six
Best wishes.

Entertaining as always but am not entertained by the fact that so much of it was taken from your reality. Thankfully things are looking way up for you and new exciting adventures are on your horizons. Thanks for sharing

Comment from Begin Again
I could never understand how abused women could be nearly beat to death and when the authorities arrived they would plead his case, saying it was their fault. I can understand love and hate. Sometimes the mind knows, but the heart is far behind and refuses to catch up. Regardless, I couldn't have stayed ...matter of fact, I didn't.

You forget, my first husband was abusive. I stayed for thirteen years. I married at sixteen, and i knew nothing about marriage. Then, I run into someone who tells me I am perfect. I was pulled right into the vortex.I may have a huge I.Q., but when it comes to love, I am as dumb as a stump. Thanks for the read.
