MY LIFE STORY--AND I DON'T WANT TO

 MY LIFE STORY

And I continued to say, I don't want to

argue and fight in front of children.

Stop, please stop. No one would listen.

My pleads fell on deaf ears. The children

are nervous and cry. Stop now, please.

Still no response.

I knew nothing would change. I refused

to beg any more. I began to plan to make

a change. I stopped talking, and remained

silent.

One morning I arose early to prepare or the

day. I continued to dress for my office,

knowing I would not be returning at end of

day. As I backed my wheels out of drive-

way, I waved good bye. And I meant good-

bye.

When day was over I pulled my auto into

a new driveway. Unlocked my door, went

inside to a quiet, peaceful enviroment. At

that moment I knew what I wanted for the

rest of my life.

A phone call was made, I want my children,

and their clothing. That's all I want. You can

have everything we have, I don't want anything

you have ever touched. Goodbye: We started

a new way of life.

As days turned into weeks, and weeks into

months I stated, I want a divorce. I want out

of this now. But he continued to beg us to

return to our home. I kept saying no. He had

nothing I wanted any more. While I was away,

I began to change. The things I once loved

didn't hold any importance any more. Once

I looked away, I didn't look back. There was

nothing there that interested me anymore.
