MELANCHOLY
Answer can't advise you for
I can not look into the future and
see how you would bear the prob
lens of divorce and economic in
security. I think you could get
a divorce on grounds of cruel and
inhuman treatment, and that the
court would award you both your
furniture and support. However,
I have no way of knowing whether
or not your husband would run
away so far that he could not be
found. Then what would you do
for support?
I should think that a woman OF
your capabilities and energies
could find way of supporting
herself. But you might be utterly
miserable without your home and
look back on it's horrors as pref
cradle to homelessness. That is
why you and you only can make
this decision. I am wondering
what is the attitude Of your chill
dren and whether or not they are
back of you in your attempt at
escape.
