Dear Violet,
I read over and over your letter to build up my courage to do what I knew I had to. This past Saturday I made it back to my home state driving his truck and boat while he drove his other truck and trailer. I told him I was goin to leave and offered to help him when the moving truck arrived but he told me not to worry about it that if I was going to go on, so I did. ASAP I changed my phone num. but before I could he txted me wanting to know if I was coming back to help him after he had expressed that he wanted no help. I have not been back.
My son rode all the way back with me and told me that he would not ride with dad. He was upset because he was moving again. He said that he wasn't going to move again. I assured him that I would do whatever I could to stop it. He asked me "mom can' I just tell that I want to stay with you ". I said, Yes!! But he would never say that to his dad.
I do not understand what makes us fear hurting his feelings so much. My son and I seem to handle things the same whereas we will make ourselves totally unhappy and go along with almost anything just to keep from hurtin his feelings or upsetting him.
I am out of the situation, other than going over there to collect the rest of my things, furniture ect....he threatened me so I would bring anything I owned out to his house just so my husband wouldn't have it. Now I must focus on recovering any self respect I can muster up along with focusing on getting my son out also.
lolly
