Newleaf,
Great to have you back! Sorry to hear about your surgery. It's tough when the only person you have to rely on is someone like this. Fortunately, you have the other family who was willing to help out.

As you grow, you will find more and more people willing to help. There are lots of us out there. And we don't even charge! LOL!

Have you seen a lawyer and filed for divorce?

I do have to ask, why are you expecting this man to change? He is what he is. If you choose to associate with him you are going to keep getting what you are getting.

Don't feel guilty about using his insurance and finances. Just keep moving away.

I beg you to keep this man out of your house. Don't let him in. He is verbally threatening you. Get away from him.

There's nothing wrong with you except that you keep asking from him something that is not possible for him to give.

Take care of yourself! I'll keep you in my prayers.
Casey
