My Estella

Okay, so it isn't the greatest picture of me, but it isn't about me, so overlook it, okay? I just love this lady.     I mean, the more I am around her the more I just want to take my arms and just squeeze her tight. After posting the story of how she lived I got a chance to talk to her a little about her situation. 

She got married at 13 years old. She married very young because she was scared of her step father because he continually tried to do things to her that made her feel uncomfortable. So, she decided that it would be better to get married to a guy she had only known for 15 days. This would be the husband she has been married to for 17 years now. She said that out of those 17 years the longest time he has gone sober was 4 months. He will get out of a rehab center at the end of this month and she is scared. ( He has been in and out of rehab numerous times and she says he never lasts more than a month) She said when he gets out he will probably make her quit going to the Bible study. She said, "He doesn't have much else to destroy, he has ripped up our floor, torn up our beds, there isn't much else to tear apart, except for me." She said he has never touched her kids, he only hits her. I am begging you to pray for her. Pray for him. I am consumed by thoughts of her; of her life. I would do just about anything for her. Only I don't know what to do, except ask the one who created her for help. Love you all! Missy
