I love what you write and will be sharing the links on my pages. I think their are so many other American Warriors that need to read what you write and realize that what they are going through now is normal for what they have been through. Your words will be able to help many families as well. Stay safe, be well and keep kicking ass for America!

It is not an uncontrollable thing when you learn what it is and how to counteract it within yourself. It seems to have more power over you than you do, but armed with the right knowledge you can overcome your situation. Read everything here especially from 2008 and 2009, do this and you will be able to help yourself as I did and find a network as I have.Scott Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17861938200417302754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8207713177773691778.post-44082384149669303492010-07-07T04:24:09.718-04:002010-07-07T04:24:09.718-04:00I seem to have set my soul outside my being, I am ...I seem to have set my soul outside my being, I am no longer able to own it while acting out the exectations of wifehood. His pain is so much greater and twisted then my own, if I operate under his rules surely he will have a chance to heal. What value is honestly serving the guidance of my soul when it conflicts so harshly and often with him?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8207713177773691778.post-75472893666793423792010-07-06T11:48:35.810-04:002010-07-06T11:48:35.810-04:00Yes, talk about how much it hurts, mourn what coul...Yes, talk about how much it hurts, mourn what could have been and what has been lost. Fear of the unknown gives out nightmares the fuel to burn our hearts and blow our minds. Talking about it today will help you both move past the fear and pain. <br /><br />Talking and listening are tools of mending; we claim our own power when we verbalize our emotions and thoughts with our loved ones. By not talking about it, we give our power away and then our actions, words and deeds seem to work against ourselves.Scott Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17861938200417302754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8207713177773691778.post-72203475983073886102010-07-06T05:03:24.427-04:002010-07-06T05:03:24.427-04:00Is it ok though to say how much it hurts?

Yes, is the only word that has any real meaning anymore. All other words are mangled and distorted by history. I live in fear of words exploding iuncontrolled and vicious, tearing our hearts to pieces, words that are reality because the words that are polite have no truth to them. And then,I am supposed to go to work in the morning....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8207713177773691778.post-86922092921548876372010-07-05T19:33:42.568-04:002010-07-05T19:33:42.568-04:00I have been experiencing this for 19 years...you d...I have been experiencing this for 19 years...you describe it as well as it knows us...Scott Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17861938200417302754noreply@blogger.com
