Sister Rags, I stayed with an abusive husband because I didn't think I could survive on my own. Boy, oh boy, was I wrong! He died 14 years ago. I can not believe how much I love living on my own!

You say you are going to have to move. Can you hang in there until the move? Make it clear to John he will NOT be allowed to move into your new home. As someone else pointed out, if you can't afford to live on your own you can get a room mate, but put everything in writing about who is financially responsible for what. Meanwhile, how about therapy or a support group to help you start building your self confidence about living on your own?
