Hi @jobycat, I hope you saw the helpful replies to your post from members like @pkh3381 @karenbeenken @dfb. I agree with them that you have taken a great first step in sharing with us.
Karen shared the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline with you. It is available 24/7 if you need to talk to a real person. I'd also like to add information about the National Domestic Violence Hotline
Website http://www.thehotline.org/ On this website you will find a phone number to call 1-800-799-7233 or you can use the online chat and get help without saying a word.
By contacting the Hotline, you can work with professionals to find safety and solution that is right for you.
How are you doing today?

I know what you are thinking why dont you leave? Well where to go? The shelter? or the street. I have a lot of health issues that do not travel well. I live with a barley functional person that is delusional. I have to walk on egg shells every day. I have resinged myself to the role I play. There is no other way. She lets me sleep on the couch and I pay the bills out of my ssdi. It takes all I have to just be here. So ...

Thank you for adding the info about the National Domestic Violence hotline. This sounds like a very good resource. I hope @jobycat will see this.
