I am so happy that you got out and I hope you're thriving now.

I want to play games with my son and be silly. I want to live in a home that I can clean only once a day and not have to clean up after my husband every second. I would like to have some friends to text a happy new year message to. I'd like to be looking forward to a year of happy days.

You're right, that's not going to happen if I don't start working towards getting out of here. Thank you so much

Gosh, I haven't even ever considered that. That's a good idea. Thank you

Thanks so much. I think that's going to be hard. I have never given any indication to anyone that we have any problems. I've been sitting silently in this for a long time. I am embarrassed. I guess that being happy eventually is worth being embarrassed for a while

You're right. Thank you

I wish I could have seen that red flag all those years ago. Even at the age of 25 I look at 19 year olds as being kids, it's actually gross that he even tried it! I just wish I could have seen it. Thank you so much for your advice.
