					<description><![CDATA[I am so grateful for this articles&#039; advice it has changed my life.  I am literally walking off the battle field, and moving to the beach! The war zone analogy really hit home for me! I am in the military and have been in a &quot;combat&quot; custody battle with a narc psychological warfare officer for 6 years over our son and daughter, in 4 different states. I have a formulated a 4 question decision matrix as to what he will do in every situation. 
1. If it is cruel..Yes          2. If it is selfish..Yes           3. If it is not in the best interest of the kids.. Yes
4. If it is not what a normal man would do...Yes          Then he will do it. Very predictable.  

I am so tired of being a deadly hell zone, rendered powerless. I have PTSD from Combat Child Custody Battle, and been on the couch for months barely able to move due to the trauma. I have married a wonderful kind man who loves and cherishes me and helped me realize how I should be treated. I am literally walking off the battle field to the beach, moving back home to the Caribbean, my happy place and where I feel the most loved and powerful. This article really gave me the strength and courage to not care what people will think of me, because they don&#039;t know the hell I have been through, and that normal tactics just don&#039;t work. I am also showing my kids that I am not going to be a victim because, Mommy&#039;s going to be chilling on the beach. I know in my heart, he will get bored of the kids and will discard them if he can&#039;t use them against me. It is also draining his resources in the process. You can&#039;t wage a war if the enemy won&#039;t fight on your dimension. I am walking away to play croquet now...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I enjoy your commentaries.  I continue to go low contact and yet when paths are crossed out doing chores, one of the &quot;minions&quot; comes to my home.  Many of the minions are different men each time.  When I walk, I am &quot;monitored&quot; again each time by a different vehicle with illegally darkened windows.  My community is not large and I have been sabotaged in many ways.  Do you have any suggestions as I refuse to isolate myself?
  I do not look at this  man, I do not care what he does or who he does it with but he cannot stop monitoring me or using citizens to observe me.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[No one talks about lesbian relationships.. long term...18yrs There is no help for a gay girl.. even if it&#039;s talked about... No one cares.. no one knows what now appears to be a sweet old lady.,. Is actually the devil..that can go to the same domestic violence shelter to claim they are the abused... Plus so much more..  These people need to be removed from society.. No matter what I do I can&#039;t get away from this evil horrifying human being... What horrifies me? I can&#039;t get away.... But mostly.... That I ever loved her the way I did.. But still... I can&#039;t get away from her... 
(Please don&#039;t suggest a D.V. shelter)
I have experienced more discrimination in shelters than I have combined in my entire life (I&#039;m 51) and those were &quot;LGBT friendly&quot; .And the one near me??? I enjoy the ramifications of a smear campaign...I was there for 4 months... 6 months later she went for 3 days... That&#039;s all it took... She was abusing me and when I kicked her out...she went to my shelter with the help of my now ex friend&#039;s and neighbors.. also smear campaign.. They accepted her and believed her over me... That doesn&#039;t happen to straight women..
When she left the bills for me to pay... Drug addicts got help for bills and rent from local churches... But because I&#039;m gay...I was turned down...  I&#039;m in Missouri... Now I&#039;m back in her house because I had no options.... I am afraid of her in many many ways.. With of course the exception of physical abuse...I wish she would. She is 12 years older and is working that... Using it against me... She hurts herself and I mean bad... Putting me in fear of elder abuse charges when I haven&#039;t done anything...  I have been threatened.I finally began to cry out for help from her and It was set up that I was crying out for help because I am crazy and on drugs.... No one and I mean no one has helped me... It has only made things harder. I have tried to get away... Yet here I am.. There is no help... I even went to an LGBT anti domestic violence organization. They did alot of talking and promise making but did nothing in seeking assistance...I have found that someone can have a degree in agriculture and work in a D.V. shelter.... Even in a D.V. shelter. There are narcissists that will re victimize you over and over.... I truly pray I make it out again before I&#039;m dead, in jail, or a mental facility against my will.... Two months this time
I almost made it.]]></description>
