coolcandle,

I checked out your webpage- very cool. Do you make those yourself? Or you just buy and sell?

wren,

Yeah, I remembered that post about the driving charges, but I hesitated to mention it. I think you can never know what it's like to be another person, the best you can do is guide them towards help. The most important thing here is for her to get somewhere safe. Then she can go through the divorce stuff, which IMO is a neccessity. But she's in a variety of abusive relationships, and that needs to be addressed in therapy, otherwise it will happen again with another guy.

coty,

Your first priority to get some cash and get somewhere safe. Go to a motel if need be with your important possessions and get some cash to sustain you.

Then you just need to sit down and think about where things are heading in your life, what *you* want.

I hope you do the right thing here.
