hey everyone,

I just wanted to post and thank you all for being here for me, Im in one of the hardest times in my life right now. If it was not for this board and all of your kind words, and great advice, Im not sure where I would be. This is the first place I found when I was looking for information about abuse, and this board opened my eyes. When I first started really seeing the abuse I kinda did not want to see it but when I came here I knew I was not alone and you would all help me out, and you did. Words cannot express how thankful I truly am, with the help from all of you and close family/friends, I am able to get through this tuff time, lord knows I need all the support I can get. But it sure is nice to know that I am not alone in this. Its a very scary thing to leave a abusive relantionship, but its something that has to be done. When I first thought of leaving hubby, the thought was scary, all the emotions that come with it are enough to kill a soul. But you all helped me realize that leaving is the best thing I can do, and that is what I am so thankful for. Im still in the abusive relantionship but getting out, and this waiting part is the worst, but again thanks to all of you for keeping me half sane. I hope one day I can help someone like you have all helped me....agian thankyou from the bottom of my heart!
