Leaving

This was without a doubt one of the best things I did. Leaving Florida and NC was good for me. It got me away from this psycho.
When I left(my ex and I broken up now and I'm with someone new) I went to Sault Ste Marie, Michigan where my aunt lives. She didn't have enough room for myself and my daughter who was very sick(at the time it was also an opportunity to get her treatment and medical care in Canada where she was born) so my aunt gave me her RV to live in. I couldn't afford a campground, I really couldn't afford much of anything with all my daughters mounting medical bills so I parked the RV in truck stops, rest areas, for a long time I parked it in a walmart parking lot which worked out for awhile but I knew that couldn't last forever, I knew the management would eventually expect me to move so when I had some time off from work I would drive around looking for someplace new to park it and that's when it dawned on me that an abandoned house might just be the ticket. Although I only rolled the idea around half heartedly. I was really scared to move into a place I knew nothing about and could end up getting hurt if the owners were real crazies.
It was also around this time I met my current husband. Unfortunately, he wasn't in the best of circumstances either. For the longest time he didn't tell me he was living in an abandoned garage but eventually he showed me where he lived. I felt for him. My situation was bad. Before I got to my aunts I spent several weeks living in my car. But his situation was worse. I could always go to the safety of my car if things got to overwhelming and they often did.
The RV had a bed my daughter and I could sleep in if nothing else. Since we had no water I would go to gas stations and get water from those hoses on the outside(I'm not sure what they are for) but they helped me out.
The day came when my husband(then boyfriend Joe) couldn't stay at the garage anymore. The RV was big enough for all three of us and had a nice couch so he moved in and that is what started our life together. What started out as an arrangement started a new beginning even if circumstances were bad. By the time he moved in I think we were both already in love.
