Those Golden Years aren't exactly what they're cracked up to be - maybe it's just me.

Maybe you can find a way to keep you and your family strong, without having to place the whole world on your shoulders...or pass it on to your children.

You and your family have my heart and prayers - even in those Golden Years.

Thank you KathyM. When the kids are finally grown up, I intend to leave even if I have to go on welfare. Most of the time I just go on with my life and taking care of my girls...luckily he's not home much...works late. I fantasize about winning the lottery and buying my own house and finally being away from him. I wish he would go and he knows it, but refuses to leave. I haven't cried in months but today I am.
