I can’t imagine how a father/husband can do this to his own family, whom he swore to love and take care of. You did the right thing to speak out what’s in your heart and mind, dear. It must have been really hard for you to remain in silence for a very long time. But, at least now, you have released all those anguish and anger for that person. He deserved to be in jail for all the physical and sexual abuse he did to you and your kids. I salute you, Tela, for being such a brave person and good mother to your children. You deserve a better and happy life. I know that time will heal all wounds. Just stay brave!<br /><br />><a href="http://www.zalkin.com/" rel="nofollow">Vesta Duvall</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01082130031462496863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8879248210676923336.post-77443196640258642642012-08-14T21:03:31.487-07:002012-08-14T21:03:31.487-07:00Paulette,

I read your very compelling write up on your abuse and would love to get in touch with you. I was a SARS NP (Sexual Assault Response Team examiner) in the second busiest in Los Angeles County. I have also just written a novel and which I draw on some of the raw emotion I encountered there and put it into my story. Mine is not the story of physical abuse but a subtle bigoted verbal abuse generated by a small town against a woman that doesn't fit in. I'd love to discuss this with you. Could you please email me at ptmahurin@sbcglobal.net If you think you might be interested in reading and reviewing it, I'd be honored, especially with the passion I see in your writing and your own story resonates so deeply. Thank you and hope to hear from you.

I hope we can all help each other to heal so that we will not feel quite so broken. :)Tela Wallenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11338133937564595694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8879248210676923336.post-80101412272696542682012-08-02T13:32:00.033-07:002012-08-02T13:32:00.033-07:00love you Tela, so sorry you have had such a horrib...love you Tela, so sorry you have had such a horrible experience. You keep telling it sister so that everyone knows what that other person is really like. Too bad you didn't post a picture! ..that person will slowly disappear once his real person is known by others. Just remember all things broken does mend over time, not saying that the memory does sneak up on us when we least expect it. That is Satan's way of trying to control us, just like the monster that is trying to do this now.shahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15067572895516631582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8879248210676923336.post-29995418998315221212012-08-01T08:32:39.005-07:002012-08-01T08:32:39.005-07:00Thank you my dear friend.
