ORIGINAL: WinsomeDefiance I left an abusive husband (think this is going to prove you right Belladevine? Think again). When I left my husband, I had 7 dollars cash in my pocket, no car (he'd sabotaged it) and no job (he'd insisted I stay home and be a proper wife.) I also had 4 boys, ages 3 weeks, 7 years, 9 years and 11 years. I was in hiding the first year, out of fear for myself and my childrens safety. In the last 12 years, I worked my ass off, went to college AND paid off my student loans. I also raised 4 fine young men, I'm damn proud of, who love the hell outa their mom. I didn't bemoan my fate. I just got the job done, and never looked back. Sub-human female languishing under the thumb of the big bad boogie MAN, my ass. Seriously, blaming men for individual shortcomings is just tiresome. Bella...read this again. Can you grasp the courage it took for Win to do what she did? Can you imagine the fear she felt when she looked at a three week old infant and her three other sons and knew she had total responsibility for all of them? Win did not sit on her ass and blame her problems on others. She took responsibility for herself and in the process, gave 4 young men the finest example of courage they could ever hope for. Courage is not the absence of fear...it is moving forward despite the fear. A hundred years from now, the grandchildren of Wins four sons are going to name her legacy "courage". What will yours be?
