I know you plan on getting out just as soon as you daughter graduates. Start planning now. Start getting your ducks in a row. Do not say anything to him that will tip him off about your plans. You have 3 or 4 months to slowly gather any documents, maybe stash a small amount of cash, get your precious things out and to a safe place under the guise of spring cleaning.
You two are in my prayers. Keep looking up^, Susan.
I've always believed that God has a plan for my life and I believe now that one of the biggest reasons I went through what I did is so I can offer insite and support to others who are lost/scared/trapped, like I once was. There is no one here at my house who will sneak up on me or threaten to cut off my internet. I do check my email every single day and you are more than welcome to email me through my profile, if you like.
You are never alone. Keep looking up^, Susan.
Huge hugs to you and I feel for you and what you are going through. You took a wonderful step in calling for a counselor. They will help you to stop being so confused and to sort out your feelings. Keep taking steps and start making your plans to leave. I liked everything that Susan said and she always has wonderful words of encouragement and advice. You can do this. You are stronger than you think you are. Hugs to you. Take care of yourself lady.
