And then remain in the marriage for all the wrong reasons. I'm glad you were strong enough to get the help you needed, when you could. The strength was already there in many of your choices, like the one to not have children, and the ability to see your husband's behavior for what it truly was. Thanks for sharing, Rosemary,<br /><br />ElizabethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4436121128883591491.post-50365650401268273412017-07-11T18:38:01.028+10:002017-07-11T18:38:01.028+10:00And Elvis is still, and always, the King.And Elvis is still, and always, the King.Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4436121128883591491.post-29194850583617110682017-07-11T08:07:50.428+10:002017-07-11T08:07:50.428+10:00PS I very much doubt that the pill had anything to...PS I very much doubt that the pill had anything to do with it. I think it was a childhood where I became very self-conscious trying to fit in with my mother's ideas of how a girl should be, followed by my parents' divorce and two years of the Wicked Stepmother, followed by losing my first love, followed by the stress of marriage to a bi-polar compulsive gambler, with an unsatisfactory sex life to boot. I couldn't hold myself together any longer; I just cracked.Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4436121128883591491.post-43397895180541169942017-07-11T07:42:53.939+10:002017-07-11T07:42:53.939+10:00I LOVE this!I LOVE this!Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4436121128883591491.post-74807248436314747952017-07-11T05:07:01.611+10:002017-07-11T05:07:01.611+10:00I enjoyed reading this, Rosemary, and love best kn...I enjoyed reading this, Rosemary, and love best knowing you still belt out Rock Around the Clock when it comes on.
