The Latest News from the Bradshaw's

I do not normally like to bring family drama out into the public, however my sister has forced the issue by posting on her site.  Here is the post from her site:

Despite our best efforts we were shunned for doing good deeds, and misunderstood for the intentions of our hearts, we were shut out for doing that which was right, we were rejected for loving. And despite our best efforts we realize life must go on and good will prevail and justice be sought for the wrongs done here this day, and carry on we must, because life goes on. We must endure to the end all trails whether unjust or harsh. whether wrong or unfair. And all this for the purpose of life. To learn from the lessons we came here to be taught. Though my heart is broken I must go on and try harder even if I know I will fail in the end. Even if all my efforts are wasted I will not give up, I must keep trying.I must have hope, for without hope there is only despair. And with despair comes the end. with that end there is only bitterness and hate, and I will not, cannot let myself come to such a sad place. carry on sad heart, for there will come a day when everything is right again, and I shall rejoice because it is then I shall be reunited with the ones i hold dear.

My thoughts on this post:

I would like to clarify this post for those readers who may be confused.This post is reguarding the way my sister views my marriage to my husband.She has had a history of mental problems and has a hard time telling fantasy from reality.She thinks that I am mentally and emotionally abused and has sought to tell others this fabrication of her mind.She has told me that I am being controlled and I cannot stand on my own two feet.I would like to correct Laure and let all family that reads this blog know that in no way, shape or form am I abused in my marriage.John lets me do as I will, buy things as I would like and assocaite freely with whom I would like.John builds me up everyday and tells me how wonderful I am, how pretty I am and how capable I am.I am very happy in my marriage!! and in no way am controlled by my husband. I find this post quite interesting due to the fact that she had called just a few months ago and apologized for giving false information to my family reguarding my relationship.She said she did this to take the negative attention she was getting off of her.Through investigation I have found she has been feeding information to my parents, without my knowledge, since we have been married so as to drive a rift between us to take the pressure off of herself.Aparently, since the trip to Utah, things have changed and she has continued to perpetuate these lies. I am a very private person.I do not discuss my relationship with family.Since my sister has moved to Oklahoma, I have only seen her on short visits.I believe she has twisted the content of these visits to fit her defintion of abuse and to validate her claims.I do not normally put private information on blogs. If anyone has any concerns please call I would love to hear from you.

I had posted the above comment hoping to set things aright.. alas it was deleted, well I am now reposting it on my site.

To my sister Laure: no I do not hate you, but what you are doing is wrong and I have never attacked you or your husband or spoken ill of your marriage...Please stop doing it to me.
