Hey BigBear, that's fantastic news! I know that with the support of friends like you, she'll find the strength and determination to make it on her own and to not return to the abusive relationship. She's a lucky lady to have you on her side. Hugs for you both.

Thanks FluteLady, I didn't get the news from her but from a coworker who tells me she was in the same situation and she's moved out too! It must've been an independance weekend. I talked to D last week and gave her my cell #, told her if she ever needed anything.. don't hesitate to call. I saw her a couple of days after and she smiled and told me she still has the number so maybe just maybe she's gonna make a go of it. In any event, I'm proud she's done it.

I wish you could see how big I'm smilin'

Glad to hear things are looking up for you and your friend!

Just read this Big Bear :) I am so pleased for her and that you will be able to feel easier now.

I also just read this, Big Bear, and am also pleased for her. I must tell you your concern for her is very admirable. God bless you. We'll keep her and her co-worker in our prayers.

Just had to update things a bit here. I haven't seen or heard from Dee untill just a few minutes ago and of all the sights to see while I was in WalMart shopping. I ran into and old buddy and we were swapping stories I happen to notice a familiar smile coming my way. Yep, haven't seen her in ages and here comes Dee outta the back of the store. She walked up and hugged me(1st time ever) She said she'd been working late nights and hadn't been around. She's in her own place, has things all smoothed out and looks like she's on top of life these days. I can see a difference in the glow she gives off. She seems happy and confident. I can't tell you how much seeing her like this has lifted my spirits. It's sure good to see some things work out given time. Just wanted to make a report and thank you folks for your input, support and prayers.

Just saw this thread.....I'm very glad there was a happy ending.

YOu're such a great friend!

I take no credit for the success story Hon, but thanks for the compliment. :x:
I'm just so glad to see her happy after all that's happened.

Bear...I missed this thread initially, but I've read it all now and I have to say that you melt my heart!

I'm so glad that things have gotten better for "Dee" and that a part of your heart that was aching, is now healed!

I can feel your smiles!
