You sound like you are doing a bit better Red, although if you are anything like me, it does not feel that way to you. I applaud you on your plans and the steps you are taking. Maybe, as you move forward H will do some self evaluation and truly change, maybe he wont. However, you will be a much stronger, self aware woman and that is the most important thing!
As far as the papers you are working to figure out, my county has a legal service that in order to do public service private attorney's will agree to do pro bono (free) cases for. You may want to call you clerk of courts office and see if something similar would be available to you and if you would qualify. I am not saying you have to move forward in that way but never hurts to be prepared and have all the information.
