after the abuse...after the separation and counselling...after the divorce...after the children were brainwashed and manipulated to leave before time...IS THERE ANY WAY TO REPAIR SUCH A SITUATION SINCE YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON LEFT AND HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT ALL BUT MEMORABLE PICTURES AND SCHOOL PAPERS AND AN AUDIANCE OF DOUBTFUL THOMASES WHO DON'T WANT TO GET INVOLVED TO EVEN LISTEN WITH THE RIGHT FRAME OF MIND?

Dear Sadie,

I completely understand what you are saying here, after the battle, after the war, how on earth can it be worth it? I am back in the mist of my own war again, but believe me when this is all said and done my contribution will be to help others in this situation. I have gathered so much information on dv and the legal effects and I pass it on willingly to prevent others from running into the same road blocks that I have encountered. It may not seem like alot but ask a woman who is saved from the legal presecution and she will refer to the one who gave the information as an Angel. Be that person for someone else. Volunteer at your local shelter, you will find more healing as you help others. They will relate and learn from you...God Bless and keep you safe. mj
