Freelancegal, darn darn I missed the deadline. The Christmas season has been very busy for me.

I also think Chatty’s suggestion as to submitting an essay anonymously is good; since this is a personal topic. The ladies here at BWS would probably recognize my essay, since they have been accompanying me on my emotional roller coaster ride with my husband.

I enjoyed looking through your site. You seem to have writing in your blood. I can relate to writing stories and poems before going to bed. I did that too.

And as far as your husband easing out of disciplining the children, yes,…I’ve been there too. Now with the grandchildren, I stand my ground and refuse to be his moderator. You DO get a second chance in that respect.
