I don't know where to begin but I'm so frustrated with life.  I've been divorced since 1991 and my ex husband still interferes with my life.  He thinks he can still abuse me because I was at fault for divorcing him!  I divorced him because he was an alcoholic and he hasn't been sober since...


During the years as my son was growing up, it was good to try to remain in contact with his father since I've moved from several States in the last ten years.  Of course, with the traditional broken promises he would spew me and my son, I have never tried to get back with him in anyway but to maintain some sort of relationship for the sake of my son.  It was yesterday! 


I was rushed to a local emergency room this last year.  At the time, my left eye was numbed and I had double vision.  They thought I may or had a small stroke.  I was scared to death not because I'm only in my thirties, but because the thought of leaving my son behind and who would take care of him.


As the doctor was asking me about being admitted for observation and some more tests, my ex husband was there and he got frustrated or angry over some of my answers... I still don't know, but his tone of voice changed.  His face turned red and just brought quick flashback of memory... All I can remember was to leave my finger in his face... The next thing I knew, he strucked me and I had no time to respond.  Then my son who is becoming a young man in his own right jumped from the corner of the hospital bed - stood between his father and me... It was at the leaping moment that I realized that I did good...
 

After all those years, it's been only me who raised my son. It's been me who taken care of him.  And it was only who making sure he has food and times that I didn't have a crumb.  He was there in my defense, yes I'm still frustrated but I did good!
