My sons would live with me if I left and my oldest has been encouraging me to leave.
You can call the DV line at any time to just talk to them. They will listen to you and give you whatever advice that you might need, or you can just talk and have a shoulder to cry on, whatever you need !!!!!!!!!!!!!
