Problems with hubby--LONG

[houdini]

I would like to add, discreetly check and see if there are any services in your town for women seeking to escape abusive relationships. They can help you put together a plan of action. It's probably best not to look via the computer unless you can wipe out any sign that you did. All you need to start is a phone number. You'll feel more confident once you know you have someone who understands (besides us, of course), someplace to go if need be, and a list of things to do to get out successfully.

If you are worried about not being able to wipe out traces, PM me with where you are and I'll PM back some phone numbers and addresses. I'm in the UK, so the chances of me knowing anyone in your area is pretty slim - anonymity is key

I was reading your posts and thinking of Dear Abby's famous question: "Are you better off with him or without him?" Glad to hear your answer to that one! He is a loser, no doubt about it, and you and the kids deserve better.

If there are services for abused women in your area, definitely check with them; they can not only help you set up a life plan but will also probably have connections to retraining programs and/or information about schooling and loans or grants.

Good luck! Things will likely be tough for a while but at the end of it all you will be much happier that you made this decision.
