      From SandySan April 3

      Really? You deserve to live like this with a man that no longer loves you but wants to OWN you? There is plenty of support out there now, for single women, for the disabled. Do your homework - start talking to people. I too am in my 50's. I lived the same life with my ex. We existed in the same house but hated each other. I wish I had had the courage to separate long before we did. It took me discovering about his affair (after 29 years of marriage) to kick him out. Yeah, it was tough. Touch and go every day. But I managed. No, I agree, I am not disabled, but maybe in a worse situation - the working poor. I am happy now. I have a new life. I am ME. See if you can talk to people in your area and seek help.
