@Gordy: first off thank you for being so brave by posting your circumstance, that is actually your first move out. Second I'm deeply sorry for what you & your children have to go through. I can't imagine what that life is like & I can tell you desperately want out. I want to first give u credit for using the strength you do have by staying for how ever long u have. Please please please continue to pray to GOD telling HIM EXACTLY what you need HIM to do for you & BELIEVE HE has already done it. Trust me, your change will be on the way. GOD has a plan for you not only to escape the abuse you & your children have to live with but a plan for yalls future when HE takes y'all out. Gordy you have to stay strong & wait on your answer from GOD. Every moment you're reminded that you're in that ridiculous situation, find YOUR strength & tell your circumstances that it is defeated & say it with confindence because GOD is on your side. I will pray for you all also. Encourage your children.
-stay encouraged
