About 17 months ago I moved with my son’s father out of state away from my friends and family. I feel like he’s verbally abusive. He yells at the kids for being kids. He tries and controls everything. My family wants me to come home. And I want to but I’m afraid of starting over. Like I’ve developed low self esteem while being here and I’m just not the same person I was when I moved here. I need to leave. Everyday I’ve been trying to build up my confidence and tell myself I can do it I can start over. I was a single mom for 5 years.
