Basically I have been a prisoner by my control freak husband with an ALLOWANCE and no real financial freedom. I gave up my "career" to have a baby and take care of our kid. IT was very much like being a single mom. My kid is now 4 or so and I am getting out but I have no job skills to speak of. So since i have no $$$$ and no skills... how can i just get out and go? Anybody got any USEfFUL advice? I am so sick of the married no kid or just single response of just go you'll be fine. How can i just go and be fine when I have a little guy who means the world to me and I have to take care of?

You are his mother and you will find a way to make everything work.......go stay with a friend til you are able to find a job....go stay at a homeless shelter til you find a job......see if you can get on state aid for housing, food, daycare...etc.....contact some legal assistance to get a divorce started....GET OUT if you are truly unhappy....when I left everything in the apt was mine and the baby's but I knew I needed to get out not knowing where I was going to turn next...been going through hell ever since......learn form your mistake and never be a stay at home mom with no back up....you need a part time job to get out and have time for yourself and talk to adults.....you will be fine
