My Hiatus

[jewelrybyjanelle50]

I wanted you all to know of my situation, and why I may not be around much anymore. I am virtually homeless, without my ex, I would be in the streets. It has become virtually impossible for me to live here anymore. He is emotionally cruel to me, which is why the divorce happened in the first place. I have been given a number to call for a battered women's shelter, which I will definitely use. I don't know if I will even have internet access, so my Etsy shop will suffer in this process. If there is anything in there that you have been even thinking about purchasing, then do it now, as I am not sure how much longer I will be able to post here. With no job, no transportation, and no place to live, I am not so sure what will happen to me, but I am trusting in GOD to take care of me and my needs. I would appreciate any  prayers you can send out for me. Thanks so much, Jan

Hang in there.  God tends to have plans for us that make NO sense!  We are in a situation now that I don't understand, but I keep praying for strength to put the next foot forward and the faith to trust in the process.

Thanks so much, Kim, I am simply praying that God hasn't abandoned me.

Thanks, Carrie, I sure hope so.

Just the simple fact that I am baring my soul to the entire world is proof enough to me that I am still sane. I am a somebody, I am worth something, he hasn't beat me down that far. I will do what I need to to survive.

Thank you so much Andrew. You will always be my hero, no matter how big your head gets 

You and Kim both, she sent a PM to me that meant the world to me.

I felt like I was really onto something with the bangles, but with needing to leave here, woodworking will no longer be a possiblity.

[jewelrybyjanelle50]

oh Jan, I'm sorry to hear that this is happening - do make use of the women's shelters - years ago in the same situation, there were no shelters, moving from one place to another did no good, fortunately I had some good friends who let me stay with them for quite a while so I would be safe  -  if we were closer, I'd say come stay with me! I know today many shelters will do a lot to help women get back on their feet, yet allowing them to stay safe - hooray for this!  a much needed resource.  I finally did move out of town - for many years - I was close by - but just not in town - made a lot of changes in my life, different friends, and finally moved back into town about 10 years ago actually - and finally don't look over my shoulder anymore!  Do what you need to do for you!!!!!!

Also, just a thought - the libraries here have internet access - do they there???   

I know it is a difficult thing to go through -  you are a brave lady for doing this - and you need to keep yourself safe.    Be strong and don't listen to the "I'm sorry's" -I know some will say that sounds cruel - but it's not - many abusers use this over and over again to lure women back in and then just abuse again.   I know from experience how this works!  Just took me a while to figure it out!  resources and info 25 years ago for abused women were practically non-existent.  Even had to file my own suit - today the city or state does that - here anyway - should be that everywhere if it isn't!

Wishing you the best with this - will keep you in my thoughts - please send pm if you want. 
Please take care of yourself.

Thank you Kris. Yes, the libraries here do have internet. I am not even sure where this place is, let alone if it's close to a library. I will keep in touch if I can

Jan - with any luck at all - you will have internet access at the shelter! but 1st things 1st - you have to be safe! 
wishing you all the best with this.  hope you enjoyed your movies!
