Thank you for believing me to be creative and courageous, that means a lot to me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>My children are both doing very well. \u00a0My son is now married to a lovely woman, and my daughter is a full-time pre-med college student and works in the health care field. \u00a0I am very proud of both of them. As far as my ex-husband goes, no, we are no longer together, but we do on occasion talk, as at my son&#8217;s wedding. But getting back together would never happen. I am not that same compliant woman who\u00a0once tolerated disrespect, abuse, and being controlled and intimidated. \u00a0Enough is enough. \u00a0I&#8217;ve grown.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Much love back to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Karen<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment by Mona on 09 Sep 2009 at 7:35 am Dear Karen and Richard, Am up to the last chapter in Switching Time.
