Cowards way out, maybe. I don't want to think of it that way.
YOU'RE NOT A COWARD!
You assessed the situation and decided on the best course of action for you and your DD. You're taking action to make your life better. That's HUGE.
I'm so glad you've got a place to go and start over. In the long run, having that refuge will prove priceless.
I also "ran away", to my parents' place, clear across town. Granted it wasn't 5 hours away from my apartment with XAH, but it might have been. He was so lazy he only came to see her *once*, whining and b*tching the entire time that it wasn't fair and that it was SO HARD *FOR HIM*. That's when I realized that the physical distance between us was a gift. If I could have moved 5 hours away, I would have done it in a heartbeat, to save myself and DD.
Keep us posted! I always love reading your updates.
