what can I say, you guys have become a balm to me, honestly. I just got home from work, he's drunk again, and I'm just wading through it, that's about it anymore, surviving. It's truly not living and I'm dying in this environment. But, lo and behold, I get on here and you all have done it again, given me a smile and a reason to stick with my stuff, and hunt down the junk that gets me down. I met with my counselor today, it seems to be unanimous that it's time to leave for myself and for the kids. So, yes, the rental ads are out and I'm looking. I still plan to keep my planned departure date, but I do plan to be ready and find moments of looking forward to it as well as the times of unbearable grief. Thanks for being my friends!
