I so much want to be here for you Hon and I'll stay as long as I can. Tell me all about it - it will be a good distraction for now @Faith-and-Hope
I really wish I could be there for you - I really hate what you are having to deal with. It is so unfair that someone so lovely is having to put up with such emotional abuse. I am so sorry you have to live like this sweetheart 
The next week or so is going to be extremely hard for me so hearing about your painting - and anything else positive - will really help. I haven't been able to paint myself - tried to get things out yesterday but was too tired.
