Feeling lost and stuck in my living situation - end of my rope

Thank you for the warm wishes. I have talked to the local shelter, but I dont know how I would do having to sleep in a shelter. I only have One mean person here, there may be too many people to deal with in that situation. I am trying...I sleep a lot. I want to go downtown (Jacksonville, FL) Again I am scared of jumping from the frying pan into the fire. I have no friends any more. All cut off. My family is scattered and have their own issues. If I believed in Divine intervention it would be something to hope for. But here I am.

No, I don't suggest a shelter...I am the same, I wouldn't do well at one. I'm not in Florida so I don't know the laws there, but I was thinking about your local laws. If they are the same as here, you can report abuse at home confidentially and ask for help. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say this, but my other thought is to get a restraining order. This might be extreme, but if you can prove abuse I believe you can get it....this would mean the person would be removed from the home. Especially if you are paying the bills and can prove it. Listen, I'm no attorney, just a person who has felt helpless and had to think of ways to protect myself.
I've not had to do it but it was suggested to me long ago by an attorney.....let me know if this helps, if not I'll come up with something else I hope will help.
