We may have met before we were grown up.
We may have children that won't cope with change.
We may have seen our parents friends or relatives die.
We may have friends that have never known us separately.
We may have dependent financial arrangements.
We may have property that can't be moved from easily.
We may have partners whose concept of feminism and equality is limited.
We may have a shared history that covers the best years of our lives.
And if you say yes to all of these it seems so much easier to stay than it is to go. I have been on here for years talking about leaving, and finally the time has come but I would like to share this experience with anyone who can offer support.
