I can’t freakin take this anymore! I’m exhausted from dealing with this! I STAY in an emotionally abusive relationship with an alcoholic/pothead for 5 years and am finally brave enough and able to leave and I am the bad guy?!?? I ruined HIS life?! I want to just run away and not look back. First, I was evil for not telling him I was making plans to leave him (who would?! Especially knowing his temper?!) second, he doesn’t “approve” of the new living situation I’m taking the kids to! It’s a hell of a lot better than having them see us fight every single day and have them growing up thinking that’s how to treat a woman. Third, he’s throwing at me “what about our plans? He helps me while I’m in school, then I graduate get a good job and help him out with school.” Well that was before he got a full scholarship. And before I got tired of being treated like shit! Forth, he’s giving me a guilt trip that he has no family/friends to be there and help him, but I do. And that’s my fault?! He says I get to go live in a nice big house, with my sis there to help, get a nice job with my just finished degree, while I turn my back on him, while he has to make it on his own. And, oh no! Go to school AND work?! How hard of a life! Ya right! I did it before!

(More venting to come)
