reyn - I am fairly certain that there is a domestic abuse clinic where ever you live... we have one in my very small town.

It's a miraculous place - the clinic - and it administers a wonderful, wonderful crisis line. I see a counselor there one hour a week and go to group two hours. It's free to anyone who needs it.

Abuse is the things like beating and slapping ... BUT IT INCLUDES, harassmetn, denial of access to money, threats of suicide, stalking, name calling, verbal put-downs, humiliation and isolation. If you can't drive to the clinic, they will come get you.

I'm praying for you ....
