I'm sorry, Kalyb. And I know it isn't as easy as we make it sound. It's just that it's so clear that living with her is a major contributor to your difficulties.
But I understand the reluctance to leave too. I have a job that is bad for me, and a million reasons not to leave it. I probably never will. The devil we don't know seems more scary than the one we do.
One final thought. Have you tried the charities and churches? There are many initiatives where I am to help people to find the initial deposit and utility deposits. The idea is that this is a worthwhile investment to keep someone in a living situation. I know that many of them concentrate on children, but perhaps there are some that help women as well. Can you contact your national mental health agency for suggestions of additional resources, nonpublic ones?
