351. I really did have a rough few years...mostly because I made really bad choices.

Fri Dec 1, 2017, 10:16 AM

Dec 2017

I married a guy who was older than me who had a motorcycle, a black leather jacket and a fast car...in lust I think. He turned out to be a rat....abusive and into drugs...once put a loaded gun to my head and pulled the trigger...the gun did not fire. I walked out of there the next day after spending the night in a summer cabin with an unlocked door. We lived in WVA near a boy scout camp. I was lucky. I was a middle class kid with parents who loved me despite my mistakes... I went home to Connecticut and lived there with my oldest daughter who was too young to remember what happened-thank God...went to college and got a a decent job. My parents were the best. My Dad put my ex through rehab. He said it was a bad idea to have the father of my child in the gutter...he also go a lawyer and rescinded the ex's visitation... He did become sober, but I could never forgive him or have much to do with him...eventually he got to know his daughter and has never to my knowledge harmed his current wife...I was 18 and he was 24 when we married. I think sometimes that two people who should never have even dated somehow ended up married...and that we brought out the worst in each other...all the nastiness that is beneath the surface. I married my husband ...my soulmate some years later and we went to counseling as I still had some unresolved issues...in the middle of an argument...he pushed by me and I had like a flashback and slapped him so hard I actually made his nose bleed...so we went to therapy...Dr. L.... truly saved me from my demons and put us on the road to what has been an incredibly passionate happy marriage. We were blessed with three additional kids...and if my misspent youth was miserable...my later years have been happy and productive. I have told my story to many women's shelters and worked to give all women a chance...not just the middle class. I got a second chance...I want that for all women.

Because you trust Comcast soooooo much. jalan48 Nov 2017 #247

Joy is honest and has integrity. (This isn't about Comcast.) Clearly... NurseJackie Nov 2017 #250

Good luck with your support of Comcast. I'm sure they will do the right thing when jalan48 Nov 2017 #251

Hillary supporeters likley didn't like it then, JUST like Bernie suporters don't like it now BoneyardDem Nov 2017 #273

You had to go back nine years to find some dirt on Joy Reid? George II Nov 2017 #274

The more logical explanation is she's full of shit Hassin Bin Sober Nov 2017 #323

Well, I don't think that's quite right, she's done some incredible work in dubunking RW tall tales BoneyardDem Nov 2017 #326
