It was time to heal. I had to stop creating a life that I could not live. It was time for the pain and suffering to stop. There was too much pain. I will die if the pain continues. Why does my life keep ending up in the same place? Abusive marriages, divorces, lawyers, legal suits - people in my life that had alcoholism, mental illness and abusive behavior, all telling me that I am the problem. Why did I keep creating and recreating everything I did not want and vowed not to have in my life?With an evenly-divided United States Senate, the stakes are high for the nation's political power brokers. The leader of oneparty decides to change the numbers by arranging the elimination of one of the other party's senators.
