Three short years ago that could be me standing in your shoes. I reached my breaking point and took my daughter and left... Our family home that I had so meticulously decorated and landscaped.... to a small apartment. I took nothing to that apartment that I could not carry myself. It was so peaceful, and we made it our home....
And God took care of us. In a few months we found a house to rent in a location closer to her school and friends.... It was an older house full of character and charm.... we were able to get our cat (lived w/ XAH until then), and get a puppy! And then after a couple of years I decided to buy a house..... and it was an even better house... in an even better location....
There is no way I ever thought any of this could happen. Get some legal advise, and then have faith. There are so many things possible that are beyond what you can imagine now.
