Open Question: I am totally broke, with two kids, and a failing business, with an abusive boyfriend who is leaving me.?

Sounds awful, right? It is, but it it gets worse. When my boyfriend moves out which perhaps he is not actuall planning to do but it just using as a manipulative ploy to hurt me– I won’t be able to afford to pay the rent anymore and may have to consider, uprooting my kids, 10 and 12, and moving them into the garage of my equally abusive mother’s house (who does not want us there) I hate the idea of moving them particularly because my son is especially insecure–in part, I suspect, because they have been witness to the terrible treatment that I have recieved from several boyfriends over the years since I have been divororced. And here’s te kicker: I am ivy league educated, attractive, personable, and generally considered by strangers to be very “successful” overall– but in the short term now I am absolutely screwed not to mention that my self esteem is at an all time low and over the years in abusive relationships I have not made any close friends because I was afraid that people would find out how I was being treated at home-and I’d feel ashamed. I’m not sure exactly why I’m writing. Maybe I’m looking for inspiring (and maybe specific) advice, or maybe I just wanted to let someone know. Thanks.
