What did he expect me to do Start crying and beg him to stay When he came to pick up his clothes Telling me he was moving out Until I got a place of my own I wasn't about to let him see How much he was hurting me When he gathered up his clothes And walked out like he did I won't have to worry anymore About him coming home drunk It has been almost a nightly thing For him to never even come home Leaving me waiting here for him Worrying about what he would do Keeping me up every single night Only thinking about himself Always carrying beer in his truck Never even coming home after work Except maybe to get a change of clothes It's long past time for him to see Just who it is he is dealing with He will have nothing when I leave I am taking everything with me If only he had not insisted That we live on his parents land He would have to find himself It would be him having to find Another place for him to live Too many chances he has had And he blew every single one No longer will I have to watch him Drink himself to death To know that he didn't care Any more than he did Hurts so much inside As if my heart has be crushed I didn't know it would hurt like this After all of this time 8-10-02 |

Sue, I have empathy for your situation as I myself went have lived watching someone else drink themselves silly. If any words I can give you will help to ease your pain it would be to please know that your life doesn't end now..... it begins. Have strength, lean on your friends here in these blue pages. They are a great bunch of people. Hugs to you. somebody tell me, please help me.... |

Sue, It is always hard to say goodbye. But unknown is the future lie. Perhaps, perhaps a new road will show a rainbow. |

Thank you all for your love and support. And for the encouragement you give. I know, that it will be better, once I get away from here. Still, it hurts so bad to know he just doesn't care. It is a real struggle, not to give in and cry. I am doing all I can do to stay strong, and be (act tough). Once again, thank you all for your loving support. Sunshine I am taking the dog. |

 (big hugggssssss) Oh Sue, I'm so sorry you had to act so cold on him but you did it for your own good, for he could have stayed at his parents but instead he ried hurting you more so what you did was right! (sad sigh) My heart goes out to you and I know it is hard to do that, God Bless You, we all love you so much and we are all here for you always! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Sue, I have been through this, am going through it and have complications adding to the need to separate..if you need a shoulder we can commiserate together... just email me...and stay strong. Being weak lets them walk all over you..I learned that the hard way. hugs for a telling write M |

Sue ~ You can do this; through all the pain and the tears and the heartache, you can do this. Take everything, especially the dog! It is sad when a marriage falls apart but even sadder to live in the manner you have been living. And now it is time for you! I am here....Hugs my friend, Marti "Even if life is full of thorns, |
