I don't know. Is 40 young? I don't think I can ever go back to school. My short-term memory is so messed up. It will be hard to retain new information.
Yes, H is still abusive, but not as bad as in the past. There's still financial abuse,controlling and manipulative behavior, and some emotional abuse. There's no more physical violence including throwing and punching things. And our verbal arguments rarely happen unless I do something that affects him.
