Didn't you tell the police man that you had to speed to get away from your husband as you were escaping for your life? I have been so lucky....most of the police that have stopped me let me go with only a warning......& I don't even say anything....must be the pathetic look in my eye when they stop me.

Contragulations on getting out of there......glad you have a destination you are aiming for. I didn't have to escape like you did, but ended up almost 2200 miles away from my husband.....best thing I ever did also.....

So proud of you taking the courage & going with it rather than staying scared.....you are definitely a good model for others who go through similar situations......know you are not alone in what you went through either......there are many who feel trapped. I am sure that feeling of freedom from fear will keep you going for a long time & keep you focused on setting up your own home & your own secure loving family for your kids.

We are here for you all the way....keep checking in....I know that was what got me across the country also.....there were many here that were with me all the way in that part of my move.
