You are incredibly strong and I admire that you have a great plan in place and are taking action to leave a bad situation and move on with your life!

I was in a very similar situation when I was your age - but I couldn't find the strength at the time to take the steps I should have taken. Having a supportive family was my lifeline. But, there are days 10+ years later when I wonder if I could be so much more than I am if I had followed advice given by others.

You are to be admired, and I hope your story gives someone else strength.

Looking forward to hearing an update from you here.
