Best of luck to you! Do you have other family and friends around Maine? You can call the hotline 1 800 799 SAFE, they can give you the # for the nearest DV center. I had to call once cause we had no long distance, and when I explained that they were able to give me an 800 # for the local one. That's why I got the cell phone, H wont put long distance on and I was worried w/ getting ready to leave that the schools or kids couldn't get ahold of me.

Hang in there. I have days where I'm about to crack and give in. We just need to realize they won't change, we'll end up feeling as hopeless as before. Can you block his #? If he didn't have a chance to sweet talk you you'd get along a little better.

I hope you can talk to a DV counselor soon, I have to go too. I'm glad you have your cat to keep you company. Let us know how you're feeling!

I am so proud of you for getting out! You did great, you should be very proud of yourself. It is great that you can stay with your family.

If you ever have the urge to go back to him or even talk to him, please come and post on this board. Please try really hard to have NO CONTACT with him. It will only bring you backwards instead of forwards.
