Couple days ago was talking with one of my friends. I live in usa have 2 kids and Im in abusive marriage 8 years. So i got a part time job and got my licence and mom helped me.with the car. Im planing to save some money and be more stable on my job then leave him. So i was so confident but that talk with my friend broke me and i stared to feel weak again. He is saying that i cant survive financially without degree. And from social services i will get only food stamps. That in states are capitalism. He is saying better stay with him. I said other women survived and i can too. He is saying in states women used to live independent and middle women are not. Do u think its hard to survive financially? And all his words are true?
