just toss those video games on the front porch and lock the door behind you. He should never even be allowed to see your sweet face again. He doesn't deserve that pleasure.
OK well maybe a big bucket of really cold water by the door and when he comes up on the porch unlock the door and throw it on him and then slam the door and lock it again.
just a thought!

I agree. Put the tapes in a box on the bottom step of the porch. Don't answer the door, no matter how loud he pounds. If he stays longer than 2 seconds or is making a fuss, call the police, but don't even open the door or look at him.
They say they are sorry, and right then they are, but they haven't changed. Abusers never change. You have been to hell and back and you have some fragile parts to protect by avoidance.
I've been there...don't give him even a whif that you might change your mind. Put the damn games on the bottom step, lock all the doors and windows. Turn the TV up loud in your room and go in there. He has his tapes and you have your safety. Super important...I'm not joking around. He could get mad and do something worse than throw his mean words around. Don't give him the chance.

I signed up here, but have neglected to keep up with the posts - until today. Wow! What an encouraging and energetic group! Your hands must all be very skinny from all the exercise your fingers get!
For years a friend and I walked at the track at least 5 days a week. We said our cheeks should be very thin from all the talking we did. The rest of us? Not so much! So to the 30 days habit idea - we walked for about 7 years and now - not at all. At least we made it through our kids' middle school and high school years that way.
I do weight watchers and at last night's weigh in was down 2 pounds. Still not as far down as last May, but better. The summer really did me in.
Someone on here is also a petite person - Short and Sweet, maybe? I'm not quite 5' and weigh 170 so we're pretty close. How are you doing?
I was making a quilt block for each pound lost, but decided to make one each time I show any loss at the ww meetings. Gives me something to look forward to. Since I have about 50 more pounds to lose that will be more than enough blocks for ANYTHING.
So ... your encouraging words help ... not only the core members of this group, but also those of us who just check in once in a while! Thanks!

You are stronger than that and do not need someone like him in your life.
Tell him to take a long hike....

There will be a "new" wwatcher plan revealed on 11/27. Don't know how extensive it will be. Only thing we've heard is that fruits will be free - just as veggies are now. Other than that I hope there's enough change to warrant all the buzz that's been going on about it.
