Help!
I'm feeling particularly low today. And these are the days when I fall victim to my on-again, off-again boyfriends false charms and affection because I need to feel like someone in this world cares about whether I live or die.
My closest family lives about 800 miles away (and they don't really understand what's going on anyway). I have no close friends. I have been on disability leave of absense from work since August. So, my only social contact is with my so-called boyfriend (and doctors). He is not good for me. I am trying to break away, but it is hard. We have been together, on and off, for about 10 years. It is an emotionally abusive relationship and I need to get away from it.
I am looking for support. Please help me!
