Hi everyone,

I've been out for a little while. To make a long story short, I left him. Told him everything on Tuesday night a couple of weeks ago, and packed up my bags and left. His mother has been threatening to call the police on me because I hit John the night before I left. John was gracious enough to not call the police, but I wanted out badly enough that I didn't care if I ended up in jail. In retrospect, I'm glad he didn't call the police. Life three hours away from him is a *little* better than a jailhouse. I also quit my job since I moved 3 hours away into mom and dad's spare apartment. So I've been looking for work ever since.

My family has been such an incredible support. Everyone has surprised me in how understanding and gentle they have been with me. No one has criticized me for leaving my husband. They have all opened their hearts, ears, homes, food, everything to me. I thank God for them. I don't know what kind of a case I'd be if I didn't have this.

I really don't feel like hashing out everything I've been going through since the separation date, but I will say that I'm okay. I'm out of danger now, and so is John. My focus is to get a job and stay resolved to not go back to the marriage until things change on both sides. I'm not gonna live like that anymore.
