I thought I was doing better and all of a sudden here we go again. I’m trying to stay with my bf off 22 yrs but so much has happened i just don’t want to. Only reason is money I have no job no where to go and I’m f—king miserable he is in recovery himself but has started smoking pot and daring to help him sleep. I call BS. How do I get the courage to leave and stay gone. No job is the only reason I’m here. Trying to get on disability but who knows if I can or how long it will take. He is constantly throwing stuff in my face I am 60 yrs old and have never been alone and I’m scared

Reach out to friends and family. It’s ok to leave a toxic relationship. But remember you always come first. It’s hard I’ve done it personally. But I once looked in the mirror and didn’t recognize me. You can only give so much of your self to others. Take care of your self. Apply for WIC and food stamps and disability. If needed go to a homeless shelter until you get your ground back under your feet. And put him behind and start surrounding yourself with people who make you happy. Who understand your issues with him. Who are there for your judgment free. Sadly it won’t be done overnight. And taking that first step is always the hardest. But believe in yourself that you can. Believe in yourself that you will put yourself first and do what’s best for you always. It’s never too late. ❤️😘😊
