    Thank you for all your support, Phil W - you helped me so much!! Thank you!

    I have a very long post describing stuff, if you're interested .. in a previous thread.

    I couldn't have done it without this board.

    Thank you so very much, all of you!!!

    You know, I've been reading so many horror stories here about stolen moves, stolen style, problems with people that I am getting somewhat freaked .. I don't know, I have a tendency to do that. I guess all I can be is be myself. Whatever. May God love them all. I can't worry about it.

    I was with this man for 8 years. I stopped dancing because of him. However, he would still go to strip clubs, etc. etc. I was so dependent on him at this point that I didn't mind, can you believe it. I can go on and on about it. I read some other post around here .. the Double Standard one? I should have read this when I met him. It had the same effect on me as you were telling the girl who posted that it would have on her. I turned into something I couldn't recognize. I couldn't even speak for myself. Needless to say, we are separated now. I was down and out and in the trash for a long time, and so now, getting hired means a lot to me on many levels. It has been such a journey just to be able to get my confidence and self esteem back .. and it needs more work, I am sure. I guess this helps you to understand better why I am so psyched up about all this, I can't unwind yet .. and it's been more than 24 hours already ..

    I should have been on this site so long ago.

    Thanks, girls.

    Carla,
    good for you.... sounds like we have a similar kind of background when it comes to our past relationships.... its so difficult to try to find your own idenitity when you've been so dependent on someone else for so long....... it sounds like you're super happy now.... i can't say much for myself right now because i just got a dui two nights ago... so im trying to deal with all that... take care girl..

    Kamryn, my dear,

    I feel for you.

    You are so right. It took me 4 years to get to where I am right now. I am not too proud. I am very happy now however I have more to go. I need more time to fully recover and be where I want to be - financially, socially, etc. I just want to find myself .. as a woman, person, everything, where I belong in life .. I suppose you know how it goes. Romance does not figure in my life.

    And you should have seen his face when I told him I was back to dancing. HA!! Anyway, why am I talking to him ..

    Is this your first dui? If it is, and you have no prior record, it should be lighter .. still, let me know what happens. Have you found a good attorney? Hang in there. You will get through this.

    Thanks for replying to me. It means a lot. And one thing - whatever it is, if you put your mind to it, you can do it. Think about it. You can do it.

    Carla

    Kamryn,

    about duis:

    Depending on the state, I am guessing, you are looking at license suspension for 30 days, 100 hours of community service, classes and a 1000$ fine?

    Is it worse? Maybe you should post a question about duis on this site. You never know.

    Perhaps a good attorney would be helpful. These people always get a better deal on fines, hours, etc.

    Hang in there

    Carla

    re: DUI, in north carolina they take your license for a year but with a good lawyer you can get several continuances until they get the judge they want, and maybe find a technicality or contradiction in the police report, etc. good luck!

    and carla I am new here but from what I can gather .. you stood up for yourself so that is great.

    I'm still dealing with it though. I think he'll never leave my life. We'll just be sort of friends. That's what happens. It's still painful. Go figure how these things work. Will I ever let go, I want to know. When I asked to split, several years ago, I thought it was just going to be it: just business - done deal - let's split and that's it. Well, I am still messed up.

    By the way, my feet are killing me. And this is a hell of a workout. I went to the gym and my strength was maintained.

    Take care you all.
