My heart goes out to you. It really does.

I have to say that I had alot of emotional support from my family and my ex's family when I finally decided it was time to leave and file for divorce.

I was blessed.

If I hadn't had their support, I'm sure i would have been very hurt and I would have second-guessed myself even though it got to the point where I HAD to do it because my exah's behavior with the drugs (heroin) placed me and our son in real danger...financially, legally, with CPS...

It sounds like you're getting mixed signals from the family?

There's a voice inside of you that will tell you what you what you need to do.
If you sit quietly for long enough, you'll hear it.
The biggest lesson I learned is that its OKAY to be selfish. IT's okay to put your needs first.

You have alot of support here at SR. This place was a beacon of light many times when I felt really alone and lost and adrift.

Sending strength your way tonight...
Mary
