Hi, Yoda, thanks so much for all of your advice! I'm so sorry to hear about your abusive ex b.f! I''m glad to hear that you were able to get away from him! I'm aware that I will get half of what he has. A good friend of mine told me that he also has to pay me spousal support and that he'd have to help me find a place up to the standard of living that I'm used to living in.

She was also in two abusive relationships. I'm really upset now because of this, and to add insult to injury, my so called best friend ignored my call yesterday and today! WTH? What kind of friend does that? I'll definitely have to save up money just in case I do have to leave.

It seems like other people, including my friend thinks that if I just do what he wants more often such as keeping the house cleaner, cooking him dinner everyday, etc...that he would treat me better. I'm not so sure about that. He's a control freak for sure and he'll never really respect me, ugh! I don't get how they don't see that! Both of my friends were in abusive relationships, but it seems as if they somehow see me as being part of the problem!

I don't understand why that is! And yeah, I won't ever call a cop to come here again as they blew me off and I'm sure that if I were sober, they would've been a little nicer. Maybe not, but thanks for letting me know that. My husband is home now and I can tell that he's still mad. He'll probably give me the silent treatment for a week, ugh! My friend said to just apologize to him for this. UGH!

I'll PM you soon. Thanks for reading this and thanks for caring! You rock!
