Financially I was fine. Emotionally I’m a wreck and it’s been 11 years. No, it was not worth it...

Not being screamed at, undermined, ridiculed or made to feel crazy are the other benefits.



Well lesson learned huh?

I got a high limit credit card before leaving and maxed it out the first year after leaving to get on my feet. Was accepted into a rigorous graduate program and got a six figure job upon graduation. A pain? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely, 100%.


What was your degree in and job?

Congrats.

Yes, yes, yes. No child support. Owe a boat load of taxes. No savings.

Couldn't be happier.
