New here— I feel like I had no choice but to run.

[Runaway]

Just doing my intro. I need all the help I can get. I feel like I had no choice but to run. I cannot go back home because the abuse will continue. Starting over at age 66 and I am waiting for the other shoe to fall. Thanks for being here.

Hi Runaway, 

I am so sorry you are experiencing this situation. I had to flee suddenly from an abusive marriage myself just under 4 months ago. I know this is an incredibly emotional and stressful time for you. We are here for you when you feel ready to post again. This website is a lifeline of support for me and I hope you will continue to come back and let us know how we can help.

Blessings and peace,

Redeemed

Hi Runaway,
