I ahve been attempting like mad to get a hold of a pastor in my church. I ahve had no luck and the pastor that would talk to me is sick with the flu.
I will seek a counsellor but it's a matter of doing this when he's not here. He's not here much but has happened to be here during the time I'd be able to search for cheap counselling. I can't afford $100 a session, for sure.
What your friend went through is awful. I do not see me being that naieve. I want to leave but can't afford it right now. i'm planning on leaving in the fall when i can afford to have damage deposit, new stuff(we do NOT have a cushy living to begin with) and a JOB because I am presently unemployed for the summer.
We are officially split up and he has taken his wedding ring off. We've told everyone. I'm still in love, we're getting along JUST GREAT aside from the whole being not a couple thing...but he isn't happy.
Now if I knew I ahd a job for the fall, or for July and August, I'd be out in a heart beat saying "smell my dust" but I can't!
We don't even have a spare bed for God's sake, you know? That's what's keeping me here for now. Not the hope that we'll get back together, though there's a tiny bit left in me....I still care about myself and my daughter more than that.
