You may find you are eligible for more assistance if you live apart from that man who treats you so shabbily.
My thought is for you to contact a safe shelter or support group to help you through this process. You are going to have to decide what you want. Sounds to me you have been brainwashed into thinking you are helpless. That is where the safe shelter or support group could be very helpful.
Please keep on posting. We are talking about some major changes here and that is scary too. But realize this also: YOU ARE AN IMPORTANT PERSON and YOUR DAUGHTER IS TOO!
Good luck.

TheByzantine thank you, In a way I feel like I never grew up and another way I feel I grew up way to fast and everything hit at once. I will look into a support group and maybe counseling through social services etc. I have put that on my list. I don't know why but even that is scary for me to do right now. I really need help as far as counseling, thank God my daughter qualifies for social services counseling and sees her weekly. We do have insurance but doesn't pay much for counseling. She also sees a psychiatrist regularly and is on meds but shes not doing well at the moment. My focus is my daughter , but I can't fall apart on her, she needs me so I am really greatful for this forum and people like you, being able to share and let it out , it really helps so much. Helps to keep me afloat until I move ahead.
