It is hard to go. No matter how bad it is it is hard to go. Congrats on wanting a better life and a plan and you sound like you are all set. It is like a big rollercoaster ride and the emtions and the kids and all of it. When it gets really hard I remember what my dad always told me it is the things that seem the hardest to do are the things most worthwhile to do. HUGS and Prayers dear.>Jo

I remember that feeling of Numbness. After so much pain, so much struggle, so many hopes and dreams dashed aside. What else is there but numbness, feeling nothing. It's like the threshold of pain has been exceeded so there's nothing else to feel. Maybe that's what has to happen before we stop thinking with our hearts and start listening to our head. Maybe that's what it takes to reach the point where we just can't stand it another minute...and decide to leave.

When we finally reach that point, it's typically the best, most loving thing we've done for ourselves in a long, long time. You are very smart and very brave to listen to your gut. That little voice inside of us that gets shoved aside so often. To acknowledge that voice is the beginning of the journey to freedom. That little voice starts getting stronger, more forthright, more unemotional, more rational and it is the beginning of a whole new you!

You can do this! You are doing it!!

Stay strong, stay safe.
