Hi! I'm the little that posted from a hotel room the other night about leaving her husband. I've managed to take out a small loan so that I can get in a better situation. I'm at an extended stay hotel now for a week and then I go to a friend's place.

I have chronic fatigue syndrome and I'm starting to "crash." As in I'll spend the next two days in bed. I'm hopeful about the future but still haven't spoken to my parents and husband. Bizarrely enough we live with my parents and they let him throw me out and kept him.

His abuse was subtle and "not that bad" so many people don't consider him abusive. But he would yell and scream at me, belittle me, gaslight me, distance me from friends and family. I feel that I deserve happiness. He also kept me away from this community, so I'm glad to be back.

I guess I'm just sitting here exhausted to the point of being ill, hoping that everything works out. Please be thinking of me and I appreciate your support. Pictures of all my stuffies living in the hotel room tomorrow!
