It usually works. I don't like conflict or confrontations of any kind. Unfortunately, the people I continue to choose to be involved with brings me into another situation or environment I want to leave.

I filed a protection order.

i left him stranded 7 miles from home at the casino when he threatend me again. i ran homw grabbed my suitcase and papers and we left. he keeps calling wanting us back but it will never work

My wife and I separated by her moving to the other end of our double-wide mobile home. Then, she came home one Sunday and told me that there was no hope for reconciling. I packed and moved 550 miles away. That was 8 months ago.

Packed my dog, my son, and a suit case....and got out. Side effects.....lonely confused hurt

i am a BIG runner!

I left. Don't think its working she now living her life without me

i moved three states away

This is the second separation from my husband and it is working well. I wish I had left for good the first time. One side effect was a lot of things to deal with all of a sudden--financial, legal, and housing.

I don't go around my abusers any more.
