Yesterday afternoon, my cousin and I took my stove back. We took the stove back with permission from him, after he read my post yesterday, and after I presented him with a statement by Jill from Spencer. We notified the Charleston police and did everything the proper way.
Never walk away. Never let it go. That is what bullies want you to do. Stand up. Do it right, in broad daylight, and do not be afraid.
However! I did have this whole brief imaginary foray into–I could sign up for the Judge Judy show! I love Judge Judy! I love Judge Judy because she does what’s right and she’s no-nonsense. She puts the bad guys in their place, and no one, yes no one, gets over on her. I’ll never be like Judge Judy, but I like to watch her and imagine being like that. It would have been fun to go on the show with such an open-and-shut case. I’d have brought Jill as my witness. Jill and I would have had so much fun flying to L.A. for the taping. We would have stayed in a nice hotel and eaten out! This case was so easy, it would be one of those where the plaintiff and their witness really didn’t have to say anything. Judy would play with the defendant for a few minutes to make the whole thing worth her while, then eviscerate him and slam the gavel down. Then Jill and I would have had time for lunch before our flight back!
Jill! We’ll always have L.A.! (In our dreams.)
P.S. Thank you again to Jill for donating the stove for the studio, and for standing up for her donation when the chips were down. And thank you, to all of you, for your support. It means so much to me.

52 this outcome however does NOT make you a good person..you still stole property that was not yours…in fact… You, 52 “the abuser” need to confront your sin and immediately , get help.
~~Happy Dance for Suzanne~~~

I twice let people just take stuff from me. They were empowered by my silence. They were abusive as well. They probably went on to hurt others.
Today, I am smarter, stronger and more powerful. Good things have come my way and many good things will come your way (as evidenced by the funds for the kitchen studio). More important than things, I am loved by a generous, loving and caring husband for 33 years now. You are loved, too, Suzanne.
Be safe. Be happy.

If you had taken a week or two to think about what to do, you could well have ended up with a broken stove.
This was a test on his part. He wanted to know if he could still make you shrivel. You shouldn’t have too many problems with him from now on.
Bravo Suzanne for taking a stand. It was absolutely the correct thing to do.

I’m so glad you got your stove back. You have proven that you are a strong woman, and don’t ever think your not. By taken back the stove, you have taken back your life. I’m so proud of you.

I do believe he owed you an apology as well for his behavior if not in the past, at least for the flippant way he told you that you wouldn’t be getting your stove back either. I hope you received one. It won’t change a thing, but it is always nice to hear.

We do well to choose our battles for purpose.
There have been suggestions (mine included) to just let the stove go to lessen his power over “getting to you.”
I do see the emotional attachment of the gifting from Jill.
There is power in numbers and with all the support FOR you to be the champion, I’m very glad you won this battle.
It’s liberating, empowering and a sure sign that he better step aside and let you carry on your greater purpose.
Keep smiling!

52 sould be so ashamed of himsef, but sadly people like him feel no shame. I give you a lot od credit for never printing his name, but many of us that have Family in WVA know who is acually is.
Hopefully he will leave you alone, but there again this kind of person has to alway have someone they try to intimidate, it makes him feel like a man, Very sad.

I’m not sorry about anything I said about you, 52, but it’s one less stop I have to make when I get to Charleston. Too take some classes. Using Suzanne’s stove.

I am so sorry you had to endure the abuse from 52. I only pray that there is not another victim for him to abuse. It would be nice to see him hook up with some woman who abuses him and see how he likes it. I’m sure he wouldn’t stick around too long.
I know we don’t like to have our children involved in our domestic problems, but I’m sure it wasn’t easy for Ross and Weston to go off and leave you in that situation. Thank God you and Morgan are in a better place now and hopefully the “big bad bully” will leave you alone.
I offer you the use of a truck, too. If I can help in anyway, let me know. I have a husband and my son-in-law use to be your UPS man. I’ll recruit them and we’ll get ‘er done!
Congratulations and much more happiness to you and Morgan.

In the meantime, you have been brave to make the change–with a GREAT DEAL OF CLASS!– and will now go on to have a bright, happy, successful future. You have also shown your children that they must not live in a similar situation.
Through your blog, you have made many friends and have followers who appreciate you and admire what you do. YOU have made a positive difference in my life. All I can do is say thank you and to wish you all the best in the future and all the good things that you deserve.

Can you imagine just how danged happy the STOVE must be???!!!
Thank the Good Lord!
Suz,
I’m so sorry that you have had to suffer so. My sister has been though such a place and I know it’s an ugly one. She is now a strong woman and the ex ? well lets just say…He went no where fast.
That sub-human that was in your life … is no man. He is a COWARD and a FOOL. He also knows you putting this out here he has been put in his place. If he doesn’t, he can spend time in a place with bars on the windows and with Big Bubba as a roommate. One can only hope.
Keep moving forward Suzanne and don’t look back. You have found your good place and with lots of support behind you. The Lord has only good things for you now. Never doubt that…as you’ve already seen it in the works.

I am so happy for you that you got what was rightfully yours. You are right-don’t back down. Bullies are really just spineless people but you, Suzanne, have a spine made of titanium. Also–this shows Morgan that she doesn’t have to take crap from anybody either.
