Wishing to start a new life



on-line, I came from Russia


He was caring, we talked a lot, we were friends despite on his  drinking habbits: 3 and more beers daily. Now retired - drinking is way worse.


I started avoiding any sexual encounters, the bedroom smelled like tavern... Any attempts to discuss subjects related to alcohol failed: "you treat me like a baby, I know what I'm doing, I have no problems" He became emotionally abusive.


I tried to talk to him about his drinking habbits. In time, I convinced him get marriage counseling.
Recently I've said that don't want to be his wife anymore.
I am afraid to start anything. And where to start? We live in a small town (500 pop.) There is no job for me. My daughter is 15... Many "how"... I am afraid: how will I survive?


I am afraid to be not able to provide for myself and my daughter. I am terified to make a first step - to move out.
