Had to have been when I moved to NC when my ex husband died..my son wanted to be closer to my brother..he was only 11 then...so I quit my job, gave up my house, because he felt loved and needed there...he was very close to my ex and very close to my brother...but my mom needed me back here so we had to move back
I left my entire life behind and relocated to be with someone I thought I loved once.. question is would I do it again?.. yes I would because the next one I would do it for would be the right one... yep
LOL now that I can look back with 20/20 vision: changed my name, dropped below radar, as it were, moved half way around the world because she couldn't take the negative publicity in the press and the constant threatening atmosphere that it created. Did it work out; of course not. I quickly learned that any real love between two people do not come with or demand conditions. It took me years to undo those mistakes. My children are now happy that I did. That makes me very happy, plus no more living in shadows like a fugitive. No more "security problems" as it were. Love may be indeed "blind" but that is no excuse for you to be blind.
Thanks riya.. I have to be possitive and believe better things are ahead.. and the reason is if you believe in something enough you can make it a reality...
I dont believe in sacrifices, if u feel u made them then u didnt love that person for real...I believe to have a healthy relationship you must first of all love yourself deeply, deeply enough to understand you ALWAYS come first, only then can u really love somebody, and all you do for that person comes from the heart, no sacrifices...JMO.
i have sacraficed more than any man that i know... More than my family could bare to see me sacrrifice... and repeatedly did it over and over to keep a family together with someone who does not know or understand how to give love and to only take it with nothing to be given in return.
i have sacrificed my own self and m\our children to suffer at her hands.
I continue to sacrifice the girls and myself without any control over the pain and suffering thier mother continues to bring into our lives.
i now am required to sacrifice My Job to enter into a battle against her to save the sanctity of what my family has left.
But yet i still love life and will endure, and if ever there were another to come into my life i would offer the same love and endearment as i have alwys been capable of doing.
to answer directly yes i have done things unbelievable even to myself and have had many hours of tears and prayer to ask if i was doing right to keep going foward with what i thought was God's own intentions for my family.
Hope that will anser the question without going tooo long about it...
