answer:Yes and Yes. There were years I spent in a relationship I knew I would eventually leave but I was getting on my feet and he was actively supporting me in this. Friends and family would ask, how can you stand to stay, just leave! I hung in there though because I refused to leave with nothing to show for all my investment and struggle. I wasn’t even sure if there would be any emotional epiphany after I left and took my life back but there was and it was GREAT! I believe there is hope for just about everyone if you’re willing to make a plan and work on it, even sacrifice a little to get it. I know, I know… it’s so uncool to make sacrifices these days but I can say mine were worth it.
