(My husband worked on a film with liquor store guy Frank Novak. So there were only a few degrees of separation between us, even before I found your blog!) <BR/><BR/>I wanted to stand up and cheer for you, Suzy. It would be so much easier play the role of victim for the rest of your life.

To be able to rid yourself of toxic people is the best thing you can do for yourself.<BR/>It took me many failed abusive relationships and one failed marriage for me to hit rock bottom before I realized. I know now that when I am around people that are toxic to me I become a toxic person also.<BR/>A beautiful post from a beautiful woman.

I always laugh when people give you that old "we did the best we could.." Hitler did the best he could too. You have to get a license to drive a car or have a dog, but you can pop out a kid without having a clue.. too bad for us.
