I left my husband because he became addicted to drugs. He was arrested shortly after I left and spent a couple years in prison for drug trafficking. We had 3 children, ages 3, 7, and 11 at the time. I was heartbroken and I'm sure my kids were too. I had to file bankruptcy but have overcome many obstacles. Now my children and I are doing very well. That was 10 years ago.

Heaven or Hell is choice in our daily life. Our perspective is the key. Simply stated, our point of veiw of where we are in life determines whether we are happy or depressed and this in turn tell us if life feels like heaven or hell.
Three years ago, the Alhambra Police stormed into a office building that I just happened to be at. I was sitting on a couch minding my own bussiness. They ask for my ID and as soon as they realized I had a bench warrant for a traffic ticket. They threw me to the ground and proceded to beat me into submission. To make a long story short, the date was 12-24-2004, yes I spent christmas and new years in county jail. Two whole weeks in hell and the first four days was spent sitting on the concrete floor waiting for a medical evaluation. 96 continuous hours in a waiting room chained to the floor. Pretty hellish? Luckily for me, about three hours after I got arrested, I came to the conclusion that I was F__ked, meaning there was absolutely no possible way for me to get out. I lost all hope. Straingly enough, when all hope is lost you find freedom. Freedom to say, what the heck I am stuck here and nothing is going to change that, I might as well make the best of it. It is at this point that my outlook change and it is at this point where you can escape the intolerable. You are still in the situation, but the situation is no longer intolerable. Hope this helped.

I kept the ship steady and moved forward.
When I couldn't go further, well somthing carried me through the rest.
Then I sat out on the "lido deck" under the heat posts trying to get a tan and sun bathed while watching it snow off the Alaska shore in February(metaphorically speaking).

It became intolerable for me to live my life as a big lie. I escaped the lie by changing everything when I accepted the truth of who God created me to be.

I hated my life. I hated my job, I hated my apartment, I hated being alone. So I did a full life makeover. I got a new job, a new car, a new condo, and I started going out to make friends.
The only escape one needs is willingness and determination to make a change in their life.

I felt overwhelmed by guilt and hopelessness
I prayed for forgiveness through Jesus Christ then changed my actions and heart with God's help.

I think it's all psychological, and not religion. It's because, it deals with the persons feeling and thoughts about that situation..

One big change was getting divorced. It made my life much better.
