Melissa,
Enjoy your new home and I hope your hubby gets one of those jobs. My prayers go out to you about your daughter as I have been there also. My son was in more that one abusive relationships and it broke my heart, (yes there are abusive women out there) but life must go on. All you can do now is pray for your daughter. It is very difficult but you need to think of yourself. I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a much better New Year.

Melissa, I am horrified to read this. It does sound very suspicious. Thank goodness you are ok. Had you moved any of your belongings in yet?
Did the Police ever find out what caused the last fire? I hope they catch this person.
I'm so sorry, Melissa.Last edited by JenniferG; 12-07-2012, 09:04 PM.Surgery March 3, 2009 at almost 58, now 63.

Melissa,
This is so scary! It does raise a lot of questions about your safety. I hope they figure it out! You are in my thoughts. I just don't have words to say how aweful I feel for you. ='(Be happy!

but we are alive today!Comment

The house that we purchased had been foreclosed on. This time, the bomb and arson squad are looking into it. They think that possibly the foreclosed person might be involved
No I am not in the witness protection program.
I am just planning on sleeping from now until I do not know when. December is the hardest month for me anyway and I just cannot force myself to go on any further.
I have not been able to decorate for Christmas for 2 years nor entertain
I am in so much painMelissa

Dear Melissa-- I cannot believe this. You are certainly in my prayers and my heart goes out to you. This is more than "just awful"-- it is a total travesty. Hang on to your faith and take it one day at a time. I am truly hurting for you, as I'm sure everyone is. I wish I could give you a real hug and help somehow.
