Hopefully you have read my first question so I wont have to go into that again. I just wanted to address what most of you suggested for me to do. Have any of you stayed at a shelter? Most kick you out after a couple weeks. How do you get your life started over in a couple weeks? The conditions are unbareable. Also as far going to the law for help, his dad is the police chief of our tiny town. Have you heard of the good ole boys? Thats what I live with. I know I have to get away from this man, but how?

April, I just responded to you problem dated 5/6/2000. Let me see if I can help you further. I don't know how old you are or if you have family, but you sound all alone. Go with one of lifes adventure. GET OUT OF TOWN. If you are hanging around with the police chief's son, get out fast before you look like the one causing a problem. Daddy will make sure to it to protect his son. Do you have a distant relative you can go to? If not, just pick a location, out of town, that has facilities for women. Buy a bus ticket, and go there. Don't tell anyone where you are going, except those you can trust. Make a new life for yourself, don't jump into anything. You will never get on with your life staying where you are now. Take in a deep breath and when you exhale, tell yourself you can do it. But you must believe it. Be STRONG, be CONFIDENT. Think with a clear head. Good Luck. Let me know how things work out for you.
