I am not shocked or creeped out, but I did indeed have to redo the math a couple of times. At 13 you were a child. Dealing with so much as a child in this situation may well impact your choices as a woman. I am so glad that you are in school. Woman to woman, the best thing I ever did was get my education. Knowing I can take care of myself and my kids is very empowering for me. I was married to someone with an addiction and I was addicted to substances as well. Glad you are here, thereisonlyair, best to you in your journey.
