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!
