On My Own Entirely
For those of you who don't know (and I think Becca and Manda are the only ones who do know), I have just recently moved (again). Not in the apartment anymore. My roommate's boyfriend and I had some problems that could not be resolved when he threatened to kill her and myself. I don't take things like that lightly. We got him arrested and put a protection order on him so he's to stay away from us. He's been abusive to Lee (my roommate at the time) both verbally and physically and now somehow he's managed to get back into her life. I didn't want to be around him b/c of that so I've moved. I'm worried about her, but at the same time, if she's unhappy or abused or whatever else, it's her own fault. She's gone back to him, and there's nothing I can say or do to help anymore. She's in "love," and he "loves" her back. I'm annoyed by that if you can't tell, lol.
Anyways, on to happier notes. I'm living in Glencoe, AL now. It's actually Manda's uncle's old house that her mom now owns. They've been putting a lot of work into it for me to move in, and I really appreciate it. They knew how badly I needed to get out of that situation, and they didn't hesitate to make me feel even more like family. (How I could feel any MORE like part of their family I have no clue, but I do, lol) It's a 2 bedroom house with a BIG kitchen (yes!) and 1 bathroom. I adore it so far. And yes Manda, it may not be very cute outside, but the blue rooms rock my world, lol.
Question for y'all about this situation:
Why would somebody who was so scared for their life go back to someone who was so controlling and abusive? She's had good relationships before, so it's not like she can't do any better. How should I handle it if something were to happen, and she needed me? Should I just leave her alone entirely? I really need some guidance with this and some input. Phone calls are always appreciated. (Tommy, I'm probably gonna be giving you a ring here soon.) I've been down lately, and I'm not really sure why. Maybe it's just the stress of the situation getting to me, or maybe I'm just going through an unhappy part in my life right now. I'm not real sure. I know I need to strenghten my relationship with God and really work on my prayer life and maybe even do a fast this weekend.
Please pray for guidance for Lee and that she's taken care of. I'd really appreciate y'alls support, encouragement, and love.
