I really don't have much of a support system here. I do have one friend who has helped me some by taking me to the store and what not, whom I just started speaking to again a few months ago. Another old friend offered help. They could help me get out, but they couldn't give me place to stay. They are both males and although they both offered me a place to stay, I am uneasy about it. My one friend that lives much closer cannot stand when my son cries and that is a terrible sign. He also wants to be with me in a relationship. He has often said things to me I didn't want to hear, although when we first started talking again, he said he didn't want to hang out with me just because he wanted something from me. My other friend actually proposed to me a few weeks ago. I had told him I was married. But he proposed to me anyway, because of my situation (he is in the army and it would be a good deal, if I wasn't married and in love). It made me very angry. Although, he was offering me a place to live, money, a job, a car, child care, school paid off, health insurance, he was also offering me a life without my husband and I took that as an attack. (Am I dumb to not take that offer?) Either way, my husband would not be happy with me staying with a single male. My mother has a few friends around here. One that offered me a place to stay about a year ago, but my mother didn't think it was a good idea, so I went the public housing route instead. Anyway, yes I believe I have a few people that could help me plan a way out.
