    Thank you

    I need to find the right place where I can get peace to get well again, away from my abusive family and grow again.

    I appreciate the emotional support :)

    Go for it. Move out.
    If you don't now that you have made the decision there will always be some excuse to stay and leave them more power to manipulate and undermine you.

    Believe in yourself.:T

    I don't have much to add to what's already been said, but just wanted to send you hugs.. I remember a couple of your posts in the past where you mentioned your OH and son being abusive towards you, and it stuck in my mind.. you seemed very unhappy.
    I'm glad you're on the way to happiness :) but please - get out now! You deserve better, and you deserve it right NOW - not in September!

    Tbh, if you wait until everything is 'right', you will never leave.

    You will cope with less than perfect living arrangements for a while - just getting away from the source of stress will make you feel stronger emotionally.

    Who knows, you may have a completely different perception of the 'right place' for you once you've actually left the relationship.

    You have been thinking about this for so long (teetering on the edge really) and things are getting no better. Be strong and just go for it - the first step is always the hardest!

    Good luck,

    Bestpud
