Thank you, Sara. Yes I am a widow. Yes there was oppression and abuse. I hope my blog will be a way to grow through it. But it is hard for me to be transparent so I am ambiguous because it makes me feel safe. All the stories and feelings are true but I use an allegory or a paradox to tell it. I am less likely to be identified that way. I like your freedom to boldly reveal yourself.

I understand the need for anonymity. I’m glad that at least with anonymity, you can be honest. Sharing your identity and honest experiences is hard: it feels sorta like you are standing naked in a room full of people. Some you trust and some you don’t know well enough to trust. And, then, there is the fact that what I say could affect people other people I know. For me, that was the only way to go.
I must say, I am still confused. was the absue at the hands of your husband, or something else? If you could share, it would make it clearer for me…if you can do it without risking revealing who you are.
Take care. I hope you visit often!

Claudia-
Randy’s been gone 11 years. It was a very long hard road, but we all, even the kids, are doing well now. Being young and a widow was hard–not a lot out there for us. So, a promise to myself was to change that. And, I would love to do it while managing to make some writing dreams come true. I am very excited.
I have to say, one of the things I love most is the use of ‘mr. wonderful’. I just love it.
