I know the feeling Kevin talked about on his blog last night all too well. For all the guilt and depression I suffered through all the years of abuse, none of that feels as bad as disappointing a wife so worthy of my love and care.
Hang in there Kevin, the best thing about our wives is how much they see the good in us even when we don’t.
Pin So, how are we holding up after a month or more in COVID-19-related lockdown? Clearly, it’s tough all the way around. I’m not going to sugarcoat any of it because it sucks. Whether you have gotten sick yourself, know someone who has, or lost someone who has, or don’t know anyone but are dealing with…
As I wrote yesterday on my tech blog, I’m seriously feeling the need to work on some techie projects. I think I just need the outlet and the challenge to balance the non-challenges I have with work right now. Also, like I did on that site, I wanted to give you all the opportunity to…
And we’re back… OK, so I know I’ve been offline for the last couple of weeks, and am just now starting to catch up on emails and other things from around the old Internets. If you’ve been waiting on some comment from me or response to something, it’s coming. The wife and I were off…
Pin You are my online community, and while your numbers might not be as large as the number of followers I had on other platforms, I’m not worried about how this platform will change and become dangerous to any of you. This platform, MY platform, is safe for survivors, for those of you with mental health struggles, and for those of you dealing with illness, oppression, hatred, and discrimination. There are no shareholders to be beholden to, no one tracking you, no ads. There’s nothing here but one guy reminding you all that you are not alone.
Yesterday was the Thanksgiving holiday here in the US, which of course makes today the biggest shopping day of the year as everyone gets the jump on Christmas shopping. (Well not everyone, I haven’t even left the house today, though I do have some plans with a friend for dinner, so I’m not a complete…
Well I managed to survive the Christmas holiday with the whole family. 🙂 Hope you managed to do the same… Actually, my Christmas day was pretty nice, I got to wake up and open gifts with my wife, go take in a good movie with her, (Cold Mountain) and then go to my parents house…

Hi, I just wanted to leave a comment, and say I think it is nice that you would donate raised money and that of your own to help others.
I am a survivor of abuse, and wish I could do more for others who are hurting…
Just wanted to say I think it is great that you are reaching out.

Thanks, Mike. You were right.
You know, the thing about life that I notice the most is that it is a two way street.
Relationships are a give and take thing, no matter who you are or what your past represents for you.
Sometimes it is hard to be there for someone else when you can’t even be there for yourself, but if you are lucky, like I know you are…you have someone who really loves you and someone who will stay even during those times.
Im waiting for my day in court I hope I can be as brave as Kevin. My wives couldn’t handle me. Now that I have healed somewhat I have tried to make amends to them for my “Toxic” behaviour. I wish all servivors the best of luck, we will need it. gardinerjr@rogers.com
