SWEET DREAMS-RESTLESS NIGHTS & JUMBLED THOUGHTS (Missing My Son)
Not doing good at all today.I broke down off and on all day long.Went out for coffee with a spiritual friend and talked.But,I'm still a mess.This is going to be a very long road to travel. I'm getting ready to lay down and stare at the ceiling,at the television,at the wall (all three) and try to fall asleep.I don't know what's going on back home,I haven't talked to anyone.I have not spent very much time online today,so I don't know anything.My 22 year old daughter said she was coming over today but,she didn't show.Maybe she couldn't come for whatever reason,I don't know.My head is spinning like a top and my thoughts are all jumbled.I'm going to sign-off for now.Everyone be safe.Goodnight.
THIS MAN WAS PUNCHED IN THE FACE OVER HIS HAT???
Man punches Watertown man in the face over hat.

Cambridge — .A Watertown resident reported being assaulted on Rindge Avenue by an unknown male at approximately 4:20 p.m. on Dec. 25. He said he was walking down Rindge Avenue when a man approached him and asked for a light for his cigarette. The alleged victim stated he didn’t have a lighter, and that the suspect then asked him what he had written on his hat. The victim showed the suspect his hat, who then asked if he worked for the FBI, punched him on the right side of his face and ran off into Jefferson Park.
Two officers arrived on the scene and checked the surrounding area, but did not find anyone who matched the description. One officer believed the description matched a known male who lives in the area and is known for this type of criminal activity in the past. He showed the victim a picture of the suspect on the cruiser laptop. The victim said he believed that was the man who assaulted him, but wasn’t 100 percent sure. He said, however, he could identify the suspect in person. http://www.cambridgechronicle.com/

MAN TAKES HIS GIRLFRIEND"S LIFE AND THEN HIS OWN (the two reportedly had an on again/off again romance)
A lovers' quarrel turned deadly New Year's Eve when a troubled Brooklyn man shot his girlfriend in the head and then turned the revolver on himself, police said.
Fat Wah, 43, a construction worker from Malaysia, and his 41-year-old girlfriend from the same country had tangled love lives and a turbulent three-year relationship, Wah's roommate said.
When the two broke up yet again shortly after 9 p.m., Wah opened fire in his two-bedroom apartment on Sands St. in Vinegar Hill, police and the roommate said.
"They were always fighting. They were always breaking up," said the shaken roommate, Andy Goh, 49. "They were very unhappy."
Goh said he was on his way with family to the New Year's celebration in Times Square when he heard the tragic news and turned around, his night ruined.
"We are all shook up," Goh said as cops analyzed the scene of the bloody murder-suicide in the sixth-floor apartment.
Wah and his girlfriend, whose first name is Ling, were each married to spouses who still live in Malaysia, Goh said. Each had four children, who also live in Malaysia.
Wah, who was nicknamed "Fat Guy" because of his weight, had been in the United States about a year. His girlfriend worked as a hairwasher at a Chinatown salon, but had recently lost her job, Goh said. Goh described the couple's fight-filled relationship in this way: "He would just bring her here to stay over and then send her away."
Before Thursday night, Wah had tried to kill himself three separate times, most recently a few months ago, Goh said.

MAN CHARGED WITH DRUNK DRIVING,HIS GIRLFRIEND WAS KILLED IN THE CRASH...
Restaurateur charged with DUI in crash that killed girlfriend
January 1, 2010 3:07 PM
A business partner of a Blackhawks legend and former coach has been charged with drunk driving after a crash early Thursday near Oak Forest that killed his girlfriend, Cook County sheriff's officials said today.
Nick Sord's blood-alcohol level was 0.236, three times the legal limit for driving, according to a statement from the sheriff's office. Sord, 22, of the 10600 block of Churchill Drive, and Denis Savard are partners in a venture to open a restaurant, Savard's Hall of Fame, in Munster.
Sord has been charged with reckless homicide and aggravated driving under the influence.
His girlfriend Jessica Mejia, 20, of the 700 block of Brookwood Road in New Lenox, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, which happened near 147th Street and Oak Park Avenue in unincorporated Cook County.
At about 4:20 a.m. Thursday Mejia and Sord were headed west on 147th when his Mercedes SUV struck a light pole, then careened into a ditch and rolled over, police said.
Neither Sord, who was driving, nor Mejia was wearing a seat belt, the statement said.
"Sord told sheriff's investigators he had been out with friends that night, picked up Mejia and they were headed to his home," the statement said.
Sord was treated at the Advocate Christ Medical Center; he suffered a broken wrist and several cuts. He is being held in sheriff's custody until Saturday, when he is expected to appear in court at the Markham courthouse.
Savard's restaurant is expected to open in late January, according to published reports. Records show Sord is part owner of the Charleyhorse restaurants in New Lenox and Tinley Park.

THE AFTER MATH OF CHILDHOOD SEXUAL ABUSE (by Dennis Thompson Jr.)
People who were sexually abused as children may have issues with sexual dysfunction and self-destructive behavior when they get older.
Sexual abuse leaves many scars, creating feelings of guilt, anger, and fear that haunt survivors throughout their lives. Adults who have undergone sexual abuse as children commonly experience depression and insomnia. High levels of anxiety in these adults can result in self-destructive behaviors, such as alcoholism or drug abuse, anxiety attacks, and situation-specific anxiety disorders.
The damage extends to the sexual abuse survivor's sense of their own sexuality. Many survivors also have trouble pursuing adult relationships and enjoying sex as an adult. The abuse can color a person's sexuality, preventing the survivor from pursuing a healthy sex life with a loving partner.
Sexual Abuse and Sexual Behaviors
In general, childhood sexual abuse survivors tend to either pursue sex recklessly as adults or to forgo sex completely, says Stephen L. Braveman, MA, a licensed marriage and family therapist in Monterey, Calif., and the western regional representative of the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists. "They typically wind up with splitting behavior, where things become very black and white," he says. "Either they are very sexually active, or they shut down sexually." www.everydayhealth.com

Sweet Dreams 4
I remember back in June of 94,I was married to my 2nd abusive husband and pregnant with my now 14 year old son.Nicole Brown Simpson had been murdered.This sent a real chill down my spine.I can remember thinking,now her kids are left without a mother..But,I still remained in my abusive marriage for a little while longer.However,I did separate from him before my son was born.Of course this was not our first seperation.....ya,know the victim most always goes back to her abuser..You know the drill...'I'M Sorry' it won't happen again...Anyway on to Clue #3 CONTROLLING BEHAVIOR...The abuser wants to know your every move...if you arrive home late from an appointment or work,the abuser will become angry and accuse you of seeing someone else.The abuser at this point is very irrational.Trying to defend your actions or trying to reason with the abuser at this point can be very exhausting, to say the least.The abuser will want to control everything from what you wear,to where you go, to whom you talk too.Are you starting to wake up?Well,THERE'S EVEN MORE...AND IT GETS MORE SERIOUS AS WE GO ALONG...
SWEET DREAMS-THREE'S A CROWD
I can remember having the very misguided feeling of being special and ooh so loved,because my husband was so insanely jealous.I was foolish and naive enough to think that this was cute.I was 17,the first time I got married...of course,it was against my adopted parents better judgement.But,you already know...that of course, I did not listen to them.So many women feel unrealistically flattered by the potential abusers jealousy.WAKE UP! You are headed in a DANGER ZONE! I must also mention that,I have suffered from depression my whole life..So,of course this added to my insecurities and acceptance of allowing myself to be a victim time and time again for years..I must say when my 21 yr. old daughter started dating her soon to be abuser..I could do something that,I could not do each time I met one of my future abusers..It was if I had some kind of a built in radar..something that I did not have concerning my abusive relationships.He may as well have been wearing a label because I could see right through him.He absolutely,terrified me.I tried over and over again to warn my daughter to no avail.She stayed in the relationship.I could tell exactly when she was starting to see the REAL person that she too quickly became involved with..Which brings me to #2)QUICK INVOLVEMENT! That Worldwind Wanna Be Romance.The potential abuser comes on strong "You are the only one for me" or "you are the only person that I can trust or talk to"..Many abusers propose in less than six months.Potential abusers will often put pressure on their victims for commitment...to the point that the victim may feel guilty if they want to slow down the relationship.This is yet another important clue..PAY ATTENTION! If these two very important clues are not enough Believe me THERE ARE MORE!

Sweet Dreams Too
First,I would like to say the feelings of hopelessness and just sheer low self esteem can cause a woman to feel so worthless,that she feels somehow it is her fault that her partner is abusive to her.These feelings are Totally Untrue.Please,Please do not listen to these negative feelings.If you have a trusted family member or friend..Please confide in them and let them be a strong source of support.You CAN NOT CHANGE HIM! You are waisting valuable time,if you try.I know that I felt for years, like it was my fault..I thought 'It must be my fault,if I keep attracting these kinds of guys".If you do not have a friend or family member,talk to your family doctor.If this is not an option call 1-800-559-safe.I know that a lot of women stay in the relationship because of finances and their children or both.Especially today,in these hard economic times.It can be difficult.But,your life is priceless..just remember that.If you have young children,they desperately need you.For those of you that would like to know what to look for, as far as WARNING SIGNS..TO VIOLENT ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR..# 1)EXTREME JEALOUSY! He will tell you especially in the beginning of your relationship,that his jealousy is because he loves you so much..you are the best thing that has ever happened to him.He doesn't want lose you.WATCH OUT!
SWEET DREAMS (The beginning of this blog)
This blog is dedicated to women survivors of domestic violence.I was a victim of domestic violence for years.It is behind me now but,it recently touched my 21 year old daughter's life.All of the signs were there and I saw them and I desperately tried to warn her about them.But,of course she would not listen to me.Her ex-boyfriend recently set our house on fire as we were sleeping.The Lord awoke my daughter in time for her to alert us all(my husband & my two teenaged sons)we were able to escape without harm and our house was not very badly damaged.I have since installed a home security system.We all are still terrified because he was never arrested for the aggravated arson.The police did not have prove that he did it.Even though he posted a photo of himself,posing with a lighter burning,on a social network.My daughter has a 2yr. protection order against him.He violated it with telephone calls,he was arrested for this and he does have to go to court for it.In my blog I will list telltale signs of a potentially abusive person.I hope that I can help someone out there avoid becoming a victim of domestic violence.
MANHUNT IN PEORIA (published ALLVOICES) by me win59
On Tuesday Morning November 16th,my husband and I awoke to the startling news of two inmates escaping from the Peoria County Jail sometime between Monday 8:00pm and Tuesday 6:30am. James Fuller 44 and Aaron Cook 28 had managed to escape from the roof.The two had tied sheets together to lower themselves from the rooftop of the jail.(it was like something out of a movie) Fuller had been digging his escape thru the roof for well over a year.Aaron Cook had been in jail since March for breaking the arm of a 3 year old girl.James Fuller an unemployed felon,already convicted of armed robbery and rape was accused of attacking the same woman twice(I & my husband remember reading about the attack in our local newspaper)He is described as a very scary character.Police warned the public that Fuller is to be CONSIDERED DANGEROUS.But,what really made this very scary for me personally,was the fact that he was tracked down to the very neighborhood in which I live.Aaron Cook was captured several hours after the two escaped.He was found hiding in the basement of a residence and two people were arrested for obstructing justice.But,Fuller was still at large.Just blocks away,Fuller broke into a resident's home,tied him up and robbed him,taking a vehicle and a cell phone.Around 7:00 pm he reportedly left the stolen vehicle in a High School parking lot(he was in my area now).The police tracked the cell phone to an area that is like 2 blocks from my house! I was a paranoid mess and I can imagine the fear his victims must have felt upon the news of his escape.He was out there somewhere the entire night.Police finally captured him in a vacant house,where he reportedly surrendered without a struggle(he had left my area).It is reported that Serial Rapist James Fuller 6'3 and 225 lbs. was a patient at Zellers Mental Health Center(now closed down) 20 years ago,when he overpowered a worker and escaped(he was 24 yrs. old) he was at large for 5 days.He was a sixteen year old basketball star when he was first charged with rape,it is reported.But,thanks to the Peoria Police Department and local authority's James Fuller Serial Rapist and Man Of Terror is back behind bars!
