I’ll never understand how people could hurt animals, especially out of spite. But then again, I don’t understand people who abuse other people, either. I’m so glad you got away and I’m very sorry about Dice.

(I was planning on making a donation to the women’s shelter here. I think I’ll do that this week and then make another one to my favorite animal rescue group)

I know.
Truly I do.
I really, really do.
Of course, that’s always a stupid thing to say, because I’m *not* you, and I can’t really ever feel like you feel. But I don’t know any other words to try to get to you what I’m trying to get across…. so.

I understand. And I am sorry. And you are not alone. :)

take care,
me

Found this from Five Star Friday…not exactly the light reading I was hoping for but extremely well written and a concern I had not thought of, thank for opening my eyes.

Thanks for the compliment, AND for your support. And you’re welcome; it was my pleasure.

@pamela from the dayton time:
Thanks, hon. I wish he had learned something, but currently he’s on trial for kidnapping and rape of another woman. I wish I would have the courage to speak up earlier. Better late than never, I guess.

@Jill Watkins:
You’re so very welcome, hon. Thank YOU for the support.

@Marie:
I’m so sorry for the delay, hon… this comment got lost in the shuffle. Please forgive me! Thanks for your support, I really appreciate it. I’m glad you are a survivor, too. This incident happened in January 1993, but it still haunts me to this day. I just can’t help thinking how scared he must have been, and then weak, and then all alone while he heard activity going on in the main floor above him. It makes me so sad sometimes, I can hardly stand it. And I feel like it was my fault for assuming they would care for him. I never thought five adults would be capable of such an inhumane act.
Argh! Sorry, I didn’t mean to get so sappy!
