I've lived with abuse all my life. I learned better. I know i want to better myself. I know i need to get out.

The hard part is the time it takes. I've been back home for months. I hardly have any money in the bank. Student loans and car payments. I owe my abuser money. She controls me with this fear and debt. I can not afford to leave. and she knows it. i am stuck.

the hard part....is saving alil $ each month so that maybe...in a few yrs i'll get out.
the hard part...is knowing everytime.... that she is wrong. that she is abusing her power. knowing i am angry for a good reason...and swallowing it. knowing i am stuck here for yrs to come.

i'm running out of energy. running out of hope.

" that is tough! ive been there, but it was a matter of life or death for me and I finally left. At the time I was 95% mindless. REALLY. At the time I would have rather been homeless than be killed or end up doing something I would go to jail for. That was the turning point for me. "
