Well, I can't believe I called in and doing this. But anyways, I am in a very emotionally

abusive, emotionally and financially abusive relationship. I've been with him for 18 years. We have a nine-year-old daughter

and I need out. And I start trying to figure out plans and I like, we'll research this and

research that and then I'll put this in order and then I become this paralyzed this paralyzed whirl of this is I you know what I'm saying like I could probably help other

people but my brain and I'm just emotionally exhausted too so I don't think that helps um what happened

Jody something happened that said you said this is enough. What happened?

You know, I think I have a blood clotting disorder, and I had a blood clot at the beginning of the summer, a deep vein blood clot in my leg, and they are incredibly painful.

Also, potentially life-threatening.

I've had a couple of ones.

I had one in my pelvis after my pregnancy that came close to damaging my heart.

I had some in my lungs, things like that.

So it's a really serious thing.

And I am sitting on the recliner, and he comes home from work and starts screaming at me to get off my

lazy butt that I'm on his chair and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah and I mean that's

just one example and I mean my daughter and I are both staring at him and I said I don't know why

you think you can talk to me like this. And, I mean, you know, like, it's a big deal.

My blood clot is a big deal.

And I just, I've been done before and then things happened and I allowed my plans to become derailed and everything

like that. And so I did- Do me a favor right now, Jody?

Uh-huh.

Where is all of this in your body? Is it in your chest?
