Breaking Free

The Day I Left

Steve called me last night and said he was staying with his mom because he didn't want to go home to a dirty house. He would be home by 4:00 pm today. I took that opportunity to leave him.
I packed my bags and Aubree Beth's. I grabbed all of her food and took the cooler and food from the fridge. I left him a note that said:
"Steve,
I'm sorry but I can't do this anymore. I'm leaving you. I left $35 on the dresser in our room. You may be wondering why I'm leaving... I don't want a an abuser as a husband. I don't want Aubree Beth to grow up the a dead beat dad. I know you probably don't care but oh well. I'm sorry.
- Emily"
I grabbed Aubree's stroller and car seat. I put everything in the car and drive off. I had no clue where I was going. I saw all of these signs putting towards California, so I decided to go to L.A.
