Reconnecting with Family Scared!
Thu, 07-01-2004 - 4:35pm
Hi. Ok i am already set on leaving, and i have getting a small plan together. Going to a shelter seems so scary and sense we are at a good point right now, I don't see the need to. Plus my husband will be away from this Monday till the end of November with his work. It is crazy how much he controls via the telephone. Does anyone else know what i mean? Like he calles 6-8 times a day to see that i am home and what i am doing and has his friends watch me.

Anyways, I enrolled in school last week and i got finical aid plus extra money for live expenses (enought to put a deposit and 2 months rent on an apartment), I also have been appling to every resturant and store in town. But now i know i need to reconnect with my family for support but i haven't spoke to them in 14 months and that was only to tell my mother to leave. I don't really know what to say to them, what if they don't forgive me? Anyone been there, What did you say?
