I just feel like if I leave him, I will just be turning my back on him and giving up.
Please, I am so confused and sad..
Isn't it scarier if you and your daughter stay?
Do you see yourself in this situation in a year? Or two? Five? Ten?
As a mother you have an obligation to protect your daughter.
And I know you won't regret it.
I will have you in my prayers tonight.
Stick around here.
You'll get a lot of needed support.
