I hope I didn't pry something out of you that you didn't want to share. I'm really glad you survived and are a better person for it. I get so mad when people think women should be an object of servatude and use them as a punching bag. My wife and I also have disagreements, sometimes heated, but never once have I even though of hurting her, hell, I've hurt myself but never her. (Punched my truck, broke my hand in 4 places, I've learned that is not such a good idea anymore!!) Now that I'm older and wiser ?!? if I need to cool off, I either jump on the bike and cruise, or just seperate myself so that I can come back and discuss things rationally.
You are sooooo much a better person than I, I could never forgive this jerk for what he has done. I know you do it for your son, but still, my hat is off to you!!
Well, gotta go for now. I'm certainly glad that Chris is a good man, you deserve it!
p.s. We are doing the special olympics again this year, if you can make it maybe I can give you that ride on the bike I promised you last year.
