So MUCH Anger..

I have been so busy mourning the loss of my son that I haven't had time to be angry over my situation as a whole... the way my husband treated me while we were married... the fact he filed for divorce while I was still in the hospital trying to save our son.  It seems to be hitting me all at once now.  There are several songs that tell more than I ever could about how I feel about him.


I really do pray most days he gets hit in the head with something...  no person should have to call the police on their spouse from their hospital room...


He was emotionally abusive and is just a stupid boy... a very sorry excuse for a man.

I don't have any respect for someone who tries to defy the law.. and for someone who has no respect for his wife or his child.  No man I've ever met would leave their wife all alone in the hospital.. no man would think his wife selfish for trying to save their child's life.. no  man would think their child was better off in Heaven.  No man I know would tell his wife not to come home and nothing else when she tells them their child had passed away.. no man I know who is any excuse for a man would pick the day after their child passed away to text his wife to tell her he'd filed for divorce..  It's very sad to me because I feel guilty for Jake.  I feel like Jake deserves or deserved better... he deserved a daddy who truly cared about him and who loved him... not someone who was obviously just putting on a big fat act!

I feel sorry for his next target.. the next girl who will fall for that charm he puts on until you're married.. I'm a Lucky girl to have gotten out of that abusive marriage.


For those of you needing to know the signs of abuse here they are.. I realized I was living them before I was hospitalized and knew before Jake had ever passed away that I would not be returning home to live with my husband...

No one benefits from staying in an abusive relationship.  If you or someone you know is in a relationship that shows the signs of abuse listed below.. I urge you to seek help and get out.  Luckily I had a safe refuge, some don't but there are crisis shelters in most towns.. if you are in east Texas, here is a link to the crisis centerhttp://www.etcc.org

  1. *hugs* I am so so so sorry that you had to go through such misery and pain! And I am angry that he treated that way. It disgusts me. Abuse disgusts me. I have close friends that were in abusive situations. You are such an amazing person for turning this heartbreaking and traumatic situation into a way to help others. Thank you for this.
