I found this on LJ while looking for a LJ AlAnon and CoDA to join. Ha, the longer I am here on LJ, the more I absolutely love what LJ has to offer!!

I am currently in the middle of a divorce, and have found that abuse can take on many many forms. I have a good support system currently, and have my ups and down days, but one day at a time I am firmly and completely removing this person from my life.

I hope to be a friend as well as make friends here. I don't want to go into my history at this time, but I have seen a lot of growth in myself over the years. I refuse to be a victim. I will post my history a little at a time.

I hope every one has a good day.

My motto for today is: Abuse is born out of weakness and fear. I am strong and I am unafraid.
