I moved. I got away from the control and me and my little one are in Wisconsin and loving it. We have such a large family and it's been great. Plus the 1000 miles between my ex and I have given me a renewed feeling of controlling my own destiny. I feel I am back on track and going forward. He moved back last night and I don't really care. I'm glad he is choosing to be close to his daughter and I am where I want to be. So I called his bluff and just left and things ended up going my way. Maybe the President should take the same approach with the looming fiscal cliff, that isn't really a cliff and legislation in January can be retroactive so no one is harmed. Call their bluff, it worked for me to get away from an abusive and controlling man...sound familiar?!?!?!

A few months back I wrote a diary titled I feel like an Idiot. It was about my experience being in a controlling abusive relationship. I was surprised that so many people reached out to me and I really appreciated it. I felt like I found a community to reach out to, and I did, but being a single mom who works full time I didn't really have the time to keep writing. I'm usually exhausted by the end of the day, except for nights like tonight when I can't sleep. So I wanted to write to update where I stand.

This is probably not the right place to post this. But how does one get out of a controlling relationship once the divorce is final yet there are kids involved? My ex is super manipulative and so are his parents and this silent hidden abuse is harder to escape then the brusies. I struggle with depression and try to hide it for my daughters sake but I just don't know what to do. The stress is causing me physical pain...more below...just need advise from strangers I guess...

So she lost by about 500 votes. It was a close race. I guess it's time to get behind her opponent, Steve Doyle, even though I don't like his campaign tactics. This is the part about primaries, supporting someone who you ended up not really respecting because of the way they run their campaign.

I'm pretty sad, it's the end of my mothers political life. She did win reelection to the Holmen School Board so at least she still has that.

Thanks to all on this site who supported her. It was a hard fought race and sometimes the best candidate just doesn't win.

As some of you know I have written a few diaries about my mom, Cheryl Hancock, who is running for the 94th District Assembly seat in Wisconsin. The primary is coming on Tuesday so I wanted to send an update.

I also wanted to post a link to a great meeting with the Holmen School Board (which Cheryl is a member of) and Senator Dan Kapanke.

More below the fold.

I am so disgusted by what happened in WI tonight. First of all it sounds like it was illegal because of open meetings laws. But if there is something good that came out of this mess it's that the Republican's showed their true colors. Hopefully the recall efforts will succeed.

First let me say THANK YOU. I was happy to see my first diary had support and people donated to my mom, Cheryl Hancock. She is running in a special election for Assembly in the WI 94th District. She is a proud Democrat and has been running for this seat since 2008. She is standing by the workers of the state and has been protesting all week! We need another Dem in the WI legislature and here is a chance. I know there are campaigns for recalls and I think that is great, but I also want people to be aware of this opporutunity to get another Dem elected in WI.

This is my first diary so please excuse any mistakes I make in publishing it. I am so happy to see all the attention that Wisconsin is getting on this site and since I have been a "lurker" for years I am not surprised. There is going to be a special election held for the 94th District Assembly seat and here is a chance to help get a good Dem into a seat that has been held by the Republicans since 1994. More information below.
