Awww sweetie......are you ok? That jerk of a thing that you are married to (I won't even call him man)....can you get to a shelter with Alex? Please hun....think about it ok? I know how hard it is.....I was in the same boat as you and I know you can do it. It has to be better.....I know how afraid you are of this step but I think it is one thing you have to do now hun. This abuse has to stop.
I am assuming your T knows about this abuse from the jerk? Is there anything he can do from his end?
I feel so helpless Mary Alice.....you deserve so much more and like Anna said....I wish I could reach through this screen and help you.
You are definitely not alone......your sis is here for you always.
