When I was just twenty years old, I was engaged to a man who I thought I could "fix." When things were good, they were great! We had a lot in common, we laughed together and we got along swimmingly. But when things were bad, he was usually drunk or high. There was abuse of all kinds. Mental and emotional manipulation, fights that turned

Who is to say the won't turn right, though, for a change?

Good luck!

Well written.

I admire your bravery and hope all your dreams come true. You have already seen that dreams take time.

I married at 19 years old so I really identified with your entry. In the year before my marriage, I moved 6 times. Youth is hard. It's so easy to think something/someone is the answer and then?

But you have come to the other side. I'm glad you also have enough to eat now!

I hope this move turns out really well for both of you!

You are brave, and have openly shared so much.

Well done, stay brave.

Moving stories.
We have had 14 homes.
Unhappy in our last house, and the work we had, and like you, struggling! we decided to make a huge change, sell the house, which we still owed money on, give up the jobs and travel in a caravan...long story which I will share sometime.
It was the best thing we did, ended up totally happy, (still poor though) We travelled to the country, we rented a cabin at a caravan park and remained for five years. We live in the small town, and rent a house there now.
We belong; we connect, and we both found work for a while. The friendly small town has embraced us.
I also married at 19. So identified strongly.

Just wishing you the best of luck and happiness, be open to all opportunities.

It sounds like you're much smarter about why you're moving this time! Good luck--it sounds like a good change for the right reasons.
