I'm really sorry to hear about your wife, and the pain you all must be going through. I'm a Professor and my research area is sexual assault prevention, so I have seen more cases than I care to remember that mirror your story. Many survivors repress or completely forget what happened, and it can resurface years later. Using drugs or alcohol to cope is not at all uncommon. As others have mentioned, approximately one in four women are sexually assaulted in their life, and I'm sure there are similar statistics for physical and psychological abuse. In most states and communities there are abuse hotlines, and you might consider calling to learn more about what she is going through and find some support groups as well. I also hope you are able to find a therapist who has specialization in this area as many well-meaning therapists and spiritual leaders simply don't have the expertise to counsel abuse survivors. On a positive note, this may be a real turning point in her healing process--the healthiest way to deal with pain is to go through it. She is fortunate to have someone like you in her life during the process.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

The event in the past 24 hours have really hurt but also taken a huge weight off. Finally help. She is the sweatest girl I had ever met and she will be again. I firmly believe this is going to draw the whole family together closer even my parents have stepped up offering all kinds of support and kind messages to send to her. :2thumbs:

Sending all my prayers and good healing vibes to you and your wife & kids.
I used to party way too much, I got help for it but am not sober - but I'll never go back "there"!
Anyway, I'm glad she is getting help - get her off those drugs and then deal w/ what is going on the inside.
I wish you all the best.
Sending tons of hugs also.

ray:Just wanted to let you know you are not the only one that has gone through something like this, although it may seem so right now. I have been where you are now. I have thought and felt many things during my hard time. Remember that she loves you even though she may not show at times. An remember you love her, and what you have had together. You have to stay strong for your children, they need you and her. So hang in there. I will pray for you and your family! GOD is mighty and able to fix all things. Peace and Love go with you my friend. Will send you a PM.

I wish you all the best. It seems you have gotten alot of advise. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TAKE CARE OF ARE THE KIDS NO MATTER WHAT!! I would encourage you to seek the professionals. Everyone here means well but they are not the experts you need. You were brave enough to talk to us so you can talk to the experts and get the help you need and deserve for your family. Best of luck and take care of the KIDS!!:thumbup:
I too wish you all the best. It seems you are going in the right direction in getting help. It took a lot of courage to express your concerns on the site and hoping for support. I do believe that the support is there and all are hoping that professional counselling will help you and your family to resolve some of the issues that exist.
Sorry to here about your family trouble. I've been there too. When things between me and the wife were good they were really good. But when they were bad they were really bad. She came from a family similar to the one you described. We went to counseling and everything. Worked for a while and then back to the same old thing,time after time. After 11 and 1/2 years of this I finally filed for divorce. And went though living hell for 3 years after. But things finally got better. I met the woman I'm married to now after 12 years of being single. And 24 years later I'm still happy. No more worries about crazy things going on. Things are great now 2nd time around is much better. Good luck I hope yours works out mine didn't. The first time anyway.
