hey good luck with court tomorrow - be strong - if you start feeling tears... maybe try to rechannel to anger... i often find one can flow into the other.

boy, you know, i'm sooo proud of you for standing up for yourself! I know how hard it is. i failed to do it once myself, more than once, and with the same person. different sort of abuse, but abuse no less. i totally understand how you could take him back, they have "hooks" the bastards... and we have... i don't know but, hypomania or not, i sure do "get it."

stand strong tomorrow, i know you can. you have been. i will be thinking of you and sending you every drop of hope, and every bit of whatever it was it took for me to finally take a distance from the jerk in my past.

i'm so glad for the DV counselor too. I didn't do that - probably would have helped sooner.

big huge but gentle hugs.
