Hi everyone.

Once again I must say how comfortable and important you all have made me feel responding to my problems with such heart and compassion. THANK YOU!!! It really helps to have this to read when I feel down or depressed about my situation, and I also feel I have gained some real knowledge about what my options can be in the near and not-so-near future!
Perna....I do have a place to walk to that I can mail letters and when the weather gets nicer there is a playground not so far away that my son and I can do to everyday.
1soslow...Just for the record he does not hit me if that makes any difference, Im not sure here. I do think enough damage is done by the fact that I have zero self esteem and just feel like crap. But thank you for your reply, I do appreciate your view of things. (I do know my only option is to leave but I want to keep my home if I can???)
youOme...I was particularly interested in your post because you have gone through the same things. Thank you for sharing that with me and I am so glad for you, being in a better place now and all!
Today was a better day, maybe because of all of you who have shown me that with or without the support of my husband....I AM an important person who deserves a better life with my son!
Thanks again all....
