sandi, do you get paid by piece work? how many places did you post this? would you mind sending it to my H?
trying, it's tough being separated under the same roof. I've been there for years. I sure wish I knew what to say that would cause the magic wand to make it better for us. It takes a long time to crumble the brick walls they have built.
IMO it is good you did not leave the house. It's not easy to stay, but if you haven't already do check your legal rights if you are 'forced' to leave.
Keep your chin up.
Live your life while you are still living. Riding the trail less traveled.
