He is, however, very grounded, and still has his first job with Petsmart (2.5 years), but even his hours have been cut severely due to the economy. He is also doing very well in college and is not aware of what I go through. I hide it very well. Also, together, we don't make enough to live anywhere in this very expensive part of Florida, and moving to another state is something that is do-able, but only with savings to do so. I would love to pick up and leave. I did seek assistance from a woman's group in the area, and at least I am beginning to establish a plan and have documented all his information in case something happens to me. I thank God for my YT friends and will keep you updated as things progress.
Good for you for taking a very tough first step and getting help from the women's group. It is VERY difficult to think of a plan when we are so stressed we can barely get through the moments.

You are a smart and strong woman and you will make it through this, I know that you know that! Keep moving forward with each day and never go backwards... thats the only way to gain yourself back!
