I am a married mother of two awesome boys. I am a third time wife and I'm having the time of my life this time around. My first marriage began at the age of 19 and ended by the time I was 25. The marriage was emotionally abusive, but not physically; however, the second marriage was both. Thankfully I got out of the second marriage faster than the first and I am a better person for it. (No kids from the second trip.)
My husband and I met in 1979 and although it took us 17 years to get it together, we finally did and the rest, as they say, is history. I have never been happier tha I have been in the last almost 15 years. Jeff and I went to different schools together and have known each other since we were teens.
I advocate online to help women who are at a place I once was. I understand the things they go through, physically and emotionally, and I may be able to help their heads, if not their hearts. I know it isn't easy to get out, but I know it can be done.
I know about self doubt, fear and negative esteem. I know why women stay and I am here to tell them that they don't have to. I am willing to share my story.
My oldest child, now 21, is a product of my first marriage. I did not have another child until eight years later when I married the love of my life. He, my youngest child, is now 13.
Relationships take work, but they should not be painful and they should not be a struggle.
I've been there, done that and burned the T-shirt. I may be able to help you do the same. I am not a professional counselor or therapist, but I have gone through it all and I'm here to say that life can be better; it will take some effort and courage.
I have been working at home as a freelance commercial writer, helping home business hopefuls to promote their businesses online since 2004. Feel free to visit AdsOnQ http://ads-on-q.com

Do what You Must, Even When You Think You Can't
Do what You Must, Even When You Think You Can't That is the secret to succeeding at anything. Remember the story, 'The Little Engine That Could'? "I think I can..." When presented with a task, any task, except of course things like brain surgery, crank up the confidence. Go with it and tell yourself, 'I Can Do This...' Change the problem into a challenge and tackle it with enthusiasm. Pump yourself up with "I CAN DO THIS!" Stop the fear of failure in its tracks.

Be Not Afraid
Have you ever wondered why the world is the way it is today? I have. I have come to the conclusion that the world is in the predicament it is in because the majority of people focus on what they don't like. I would suggest that all of the whiners stop whining and turn their attention to making the world a better place. Think in terms of solutions, not how the other guy is doing something you don't like. If you don't like the way one does something then it is your responsibility to do it better.

Verbal Abuse
Verbal abuse is probably the most common form of abuse exercised today, but it is also one form of abuse that is not publically recognized. Children experience verbal abuse at the hands of their parents, school mates and others; growing up thinking it is a normal way to behave. As adults, they then exercise this type of abuse on others they interact with, because it is what they know. Most abusers grew up in abusive homes and learned to deal with life this way. This is not an excuse for their behavior, but it is a reasonable explaination.

The Fear
In my first marriage I was afraid of the man's words. He told me that I was stupid, which I am not; he told me no one else would want me, which was a lie. He got in my face and screamed at me for everything. I was afraid that every hateful thing he'd ever said about me was true. I was afraid that I could not raise and support a child on my own because I was so worthless. I was afraid that my son would grow up to be like his dad, and that is what put my feet in motion. In my second marriage I was fearful of the man.r
