In NJ, R stayed at a motel while I stayed with my family. After the last incident I could not tell my family he
was there. I would spend most of the day with him and then I would go back home to my family for dinner. On the third day of my trip, I got very sick and could not get out of bed. I even had my cousin help me get dressed but when I made it to the top of the stairs I collapsed.  I had never been this sick.  My aunt noticed and did not let me leave the house.  He was stuck by himself for several days before we left NJ.

The day before we left we went into NYC and went to Macys.  I needed some warmer clothes.  While I was shopping he said he was going to grab a snack.  A few minutes later he found me again and had a Get Well Soon little balloon and a big smile on his face.  I still have the balloon today. We left NJ with my family not being any wiser about my relationship with R.  They tried to convince me to go back to my marriage at first but realized that he was not the one for me when I told them the stories.  The last time I saw my ex-husband Roger, he had lost it and had shaken me, thrown me up on a wall and begged me to please not leave him.  It was the last time I ever saw him by myself.

After leaving NJ, we then headed back to Orlando.  Orlando was awesome!  We stayed in the Disney Fort Wilderness Villas.  We went to the parks, had breakfast with the characters and were just goofy together.  I fell asleep every night holding his hand.  Within the two months of our trip, I had grown so close to him that I did not realize how unhappy my life was until I met him.  I started to believe that there was a reason for everything and that he must be the reason for my father passing away.  I must have been destined to be with him.  
After almost 2 months on the road we decided we needed to return to Miami to face our new lives.

Once he told his wife he was back, she started saying she was in labor once a week or more and going
to the hospital so that he would be there with her. It was the only way for her to have his attention.  I could not fault her, she was in a bad situation and I felt like it was my fault.   It was the first week of October. I understood. I knew I was in the wrong. When the baby was born; I decided to leave him. I felt guilty and thought he should be
with his child. I went to NJ. I told my family that I needed them and they accepted me with open arms, no questions asked.  R was relentless though and a little over 2 weeks later I returned. He called several times a day, sent a letter and told me he did not want to return to her.

We rented a townhouse that had no furniture but it had a yard for our german shephard puppies. They were 12 weeks old at the time and adorable. They ate like horses to me and grew to each be over 100 lbs.  Blizzard was an all white shephard and my little girl.  The night his daughter was born, he asked me to please come to the hospital and wait in the waiting room for him.  He wanted to have dinner with me.  I had a horrible feeling but I did it.  As the elevator doors opened, R was there with his wife, she had been instructed to walk.  I attempted to close the doors and leave but even as pregnant as she was she rushed to the elevator and pushed me and tried to hit me.  I stepped back and let her, I knew I should not have gone.  He mouthed to me to please wait for him.  I went down stairs to my car and waited.  A few minutes later he came down and apologized for putting me in that situation, he hugged me and I gave him dinner and said I had to leave.  Before I could get in the car, his mother came out and called me everything you can think of.  What could I do?  I deserved it.  I went home by myself and was extremely sad.  I really wanted to leave.  He was home2 hours later and said everything would be ok.

Life got somewhat normal with the two of us after all of this drama.  He started visiting his new daughter 2-3 nights of the week and I would work on the computer or on our soon to open sign business.  I thought that his wife had given up on us but I was wrong.  She would come back soon.
