You deserve MUCH, MUCH, MUCH, MUCH BETTER, @2daffodils! I won't tell you to leave since it seems like you're already aware of that Advice. Yes, it is hard. It is not as easy as it may seem at first. I am TRULY, DEEPLY SORRY TO HEAR that your Shleters there won't help you! My advice would be to start saving some money perhaps. After you feel like you've saved enough you can think of leaving if you're feeling comfortable with it. Perhaps you'll be able to hire a Lawyer and such. I do believe it is important to do that..... for BOTH you and your Children! In any case, please take WONDERFUL care of yourself! Try to find some hobbies and some nice activites that you can do for YOURSELF! I am so sorry your Family isn't being of much help either! Any Friends that you may ask help to? Any other relatives you can turn up to or ask for help to? Please stay safe! In any case, we'll be here for you when you need us! I PROMISE YOU THAT! THAT'S A PROMISE! YOU CAN REST ASSURED OF THAT! YOU CAN ABSOLUTELY AND UNDENIABLY COUNT ON US AS WELL! Feel free to PM me ANYTIME when you need to and want to! I am SURE plenty of others will be REALLY HAPPY AND REALLY GLAD to help you! Sending many safe, warm hugs to BOTH you, @2daffodils, your Family, your Friends and ALL of your Loved Ones! Keep fighting and keep rocking no matter what happens, ok? STAY SAFE!
