Alrite guys....I'm sure you guys have been wondering whats been going on. seemed like one minute I was engaged and the next I'm half the county away from the man I was supposed to marry. Now that I'm out of there I think it is safe to talk about it. Gustavo and I fell apart...we were together for 6 years and with time things went down hill. He decided it was ok to put his hands on me and treat me like garbage. I refuse to have my child live like that so I left. Then things went from bad to worse and ended up having yuo get a restraining order against him. One of my close friends and police officer (kris) stepped up and helped me get out. Kris grew up in california and wanted to move back and told me to come with. So I left everything I had and me kris and two of our friends headed out. Kris and I are staying with his mom until we have stable income and our friends are already renting a house. I'm going to start over here. Things got so out of control over there. That town was so small seemed like no matter where I went I ran into gustavo or his family. So there it is...never would have dreamed things would end up the way they did but I must say...things are really beginning yuo look up.

Its hard when you have been together so long, but you totally made the right choice. No one has any right to lay hands on you. This sounds like a new and exciting chaper of your life. You also have some awesome friends

You definitely made the right choice. No way around it. As soon as hands get laid on someone, that's it IMO. I'm glad things are looking better for you now and wish you lots of joy as you start out on the next adventure of life. You're a strong woman, you'll be fine.

You are young and this is a big change in your life. It must be hard to be so far away from your mom. You need to find a way to cope. I will tell you what I did and I hate sounding like a broken record but My son and I went for a Bodywork session (reiki polarity cranial). It helped us both. I chose this instead of social worker as it takes a while to find someone and I felt we were heading into crisis. You just need to find someone you can share things with, the things you can not share with some of the people you are close with. But someone who at the same time can advise you. Good Luck to you.

Amy Jo I am sorry that things between you and Gustavo deteriorated to such a bad place but as everyone else said you did the right thing. Kudos to you for being a strong independent woman and a wonderful mother. Avery would be proud!
