Dear Deanna!
I’m in a situation w here I’m
living w ith a man that drinks
booze and he’s verbally abusive.
I live with him in his home and
everything is in his name includ
ing my car. I’m afraid to leave
because I’ll have to run away
with my small kids but if I stay,
he might start beating on me. -

Dear Deanna!
W hen a kid d isresp ects their

and he has a cut lip to show for
it. My best frien d has th re a t
ened to turn me in to au th o rities
for c h ild abu se and claim s sh e ’s

Dear Deanna!
Dear Jasmine:
You have issues because not once

kids. Regardless o f w hose car,
bus, or train you take, get your
butt out o f that situation while
you can. D on’t w ait for him to
sling one o f your babies into a
wall w hile h e’s drunk. G o to a
shelter or stay with your family
and friends while you build your
self up and get on your way to
being independent.
