Dear Dr. Jim
Oh my, I have just had it. The seven kids cry all day long, my hubby hollers all time, and I cry even more than the kids. This has been going on ever since school got out this spring.
Dr. Jim, I really need your help, I just don't know how to get things straightened out.
Do you think I should run away when everyone is sleeping?

Dear PAT
It sounds to me like you have a very severe case of the summer blahs.
What to do about it?
Running away might be the best for you. You'd be outa' here! Just don't look back, don't call, and move over to Alabama. There even if they find you they can't make you come back and they can't make you pay child support or give back the car and the money and all the stuff you take with you.
But what about the kids? I don't mean for you to take them, only half of your troubles would go away. It sounds like your hubby has a worse case of the summer blahs than you do.
No, what about the kids? Does Hubby holler at them too or just you?
If it is just you he hollers at I would have him seek professional help. The doc/shrink may want you to come too, most do. Then if that doesn't help him, ditch him. Be sure you can get the kids or their life will be miserable left there with that old coot.
If he hollers at the kids too, still he should try the help. If you run away, take the kids with you for their protection. I think they will stop crying over there in Alabama, it is a nice place. Except for their football teams, they play dirty pool (football) and are real bad.
What ever you do, the kids will need professional help as well. I'd say they will be much happier once you are happy but make sure a professional makes that decision.
Get a job over there in Alabama. Here (click, Alabama bad cafes) are some cafes you might want to stay away from in Alabama, eating or working.
A fresh surround is the best for you, with or without the old man.
Hope this helps,
Dr. Jim
Note: I picked Alabama to turn to because it is close, cheap, friendly, and is a fairly safe haven from the law. You are also close to Florida but they aren't cheap at all, their football teams also stink, and their law is archaic and favors men over women.
I like Dothan, Alabama for a medium sized town, Headland for a very friendly small one-horse town.

i have a feeling that you are EXAGERRATING...so i say don't jumpt to any solutions that fast...get yourself around some good company friends fiends neighbors and ask them to be a buffer to your hubby and your situation...i can't be lived with either so i just back away from the situation and give everybody some AIR
Oh me oh my Ohhhh, I'm ROFL so hard I am ROFLFOC. Hahahaha! (In case you don't know Internet message chat: that means Rolling On Floor Laughing Falling Off Chair. (See the first letters of each of the words = ROFLOC, although I wouldn't recommend using this chat abbreviation to anyone but me or those you teach it to, because it's apparently a rather rare usage.
Or perhaps, the voices in my head are talking to me(From Alabama, of course...because as you pointed out FL is not the choice of places in this case.)
