Re: Tell your brief story here fkunone: I was born the son of a sharecropper. I learned how to read and write secretly amongst the wolves. As I grew into my young, virile years, I found love across the river where she would take a drink. I asked to share with her and the moonshine was delicious.
We lost teeth together, put both of our shacks on blocks together, and we ran a moonshine operation that fueled the underground economy.
Then she started getting smart. And she ran with a billionaire mogul who lobbies the government to get what he wants.
I don't blame her. I didn't like the color of the blocks our shacks were on anyway. H*ll, she let me keep the moonshine distillery. That was sure nice of her.
I'm almost gonna miss that girl.
Added: At least now, I don't HAVE to get plumbing.

My "short" story:
Born the older of 2 daughters. I was the good one, she was the bad one. Never drank, did drugs, or smoked; she did. I constantly fought for my mother's attention, never really got it because she "didn't have to worry about me." Abused by a couple of aunts, and an uncle thrown in there. Still not quite sure what happened, and I really don't want to know.
Met my ex when I was 17, we worked at the same place. He was pissed at a girl who broke his heart. He was bitter and thought that all women sucked. I thought I could show him better, but he took it as an open door to beat me down emotionally, and mentally. I became his emotional doormat.
Had two great kids, who are with me 99% of the time because he sucks as a father, and only now wants time with them, after he had no problem casting them off.
Took us almost 4 years to divorce, now we are, and I'm happy about it. In that 4 years I've put myself through hell, and allowed some pretty awful men in my life who were a lot like my ex (go figure). Went through extensive therapy, closed some past doos, and allowed myself to love and be loved by someone worth the time and effort, so my past can kiss my a$$ because it doesn't matter anymore.
I'm starting over in a whole new life, and this time, it's going to last forever. So there! ;)

Re: Tell your brief story here Alphabet Girl: My brief story? An adult lifetime of picking the wrong men and a high school sweetheart that should have remained just that - a high school thing.
If you read some of the older posts here on emotional maniupulation and emotional abuse, they describe my marriage to my STBX very well. When we separated he originally took responsibility then quickly denied all that and now tells everyone I had an affair. I no longer care what he thinks, I just want the divorce over and done with so I can have the last bit of closure. The divorce has been bitter and nasty and has dragged on for well over a year now. I think by the time it is all over, it will feel pretty anti-climatic, but I will still be relieved.
As for now, well...only time will tell how things are going to go, but I am trying very hard to keep my head on straight, make the right choices, and not fall into any of my old self-destructive habits or patterns. I'm not always successful, but I am always trying. I'm heartbroken over a recent rejection, but hopefully I will be able to move on and get over the sting of that pain pretty soon.
Luckily, I've got my two wonderful kiddos and they help motivate me and get me through the hard times.
