[quote=Anonymous]I worked with the family justice center in PG County. Group and indibiduql support (free). PG had a first months rent and deposit for victims. I couldn't use it because I was spiraling out of control and ended up moving back home for a time.

I left when it became clear he was going to try to kill me. I tried to get a job, but he kept blocking it. Then, I just took one. It was rough. I didn't make enough to live alone. My retirement is gone. My PTSD, anxiety, and depression were bad. I struggled to stay employed. I had to heal physical and neurological wounds. And emotional ones. I still have PNES seizures when I get super stressed. I lost custody because he had money and I did not. And I was struggling after the abuse. It is common with abuse victims.

Take your kids with you. Move near family and friends if you can. Don't go back. He will try to get you back to get control of the kids. I am 10 years out and still need some support. Last year was awful, but I get stronger every year.

I am alive. I am not a Dateline story. I focus on simple ways yo live a happy life. Low-stress job. Good food. Friends. Hobbies. Nature. Exercise. It takes yime. You need to be in a safe place before you can start to feel normal emotions again. [/quote]
