Hello SpyBunny, I'm here to offer support and encouragement. I'm the one who always said
"put on your own oxygen mask first, save yourself first" that's not in a selfish way. It just means if you're passed out and not breathing, you sure can't help your kids or anybody else nearby.
I joined here in May of 08 when I was so scared to type my story my hands were shaking & I cried through the first few pages. I was so terrified that he'd find out & get angry. After a year, I was hoping he'd read everything I wrote so he would know exactly why I was done & filing for divorce.
Hang in there, there are lots of fabulous caring people here.
