Greatsharkbite,
You're right in your assumption. I don't have anyone local that I could stay with. My entire circle of family and friends were displaced and relocated 4 years ago after Hurricane Katrina. My immediate family is about 1.5 hours drive away. And because I was alienated from them for so long, I just could not ask for their help.

caro, I can't tell you how many times I will read and reread your statement above. I will use it as a "mantra". Thank you!
The following is a timeline of the past 5 years with this HPD:
Fall 2004: Twenty year old son is deployed to Iraq. During my own anxiety and concern for my son's safety; HPD hooks up with the secretary of his Workers Comp attorney. I am apathetic because my concerns were with my son.
Jan 2005: I have a change of heart and resolve myself to repair my marriage via prayers and faith.
Jan-May 2005: I am in a sort of battle to sustain my marriage and family - and the entire time HPD is carrying on with secretary and appeasing me.
May 2005: I am diagnosed with fibroid tumors on the female organs and a complete hysterectomy os scheduled.
June 2005: Hysterectomy complete, yet 5 days later I begin to have abnormal bleeding. While recovering from almost bleeding to death, HPD has lunch with secretary.
August 29, 2005: Hurricane Katrina and following oil spill devaste my home and parish.
September 2005: My son is returning from Iraq, but due to the devastation in New Orleans, he is re-routed to Southwest LA. I am adamant to greet him upon homecoming and therefore rent the first available apartment in a nearby city. due to the fact that we coudnt go back to New Orleans until Jan 2006, I placed my daughter in a local school temporarily.
Dec 2005: I had proof positive that the relationship with the secretary had no not eneded. Therefore I decided to make the evacuation city my home. My daughter was thrilled. It was easier for me to relocate myself than to relocate her again. Like a fool I allowed this HPD to join us because he "missed being" with his daughter.
Feb 2006: I secured a job with a local security agency. All the while HPD was still keeping up with the secretary.
August 2006: I am promoted and working desperateley to prove myself.
Dece 2006: HPD has undermined everything that I've tried to do.
Jan 2007: HPD finally moves out and goes back to New Orleans.
March 2007: HPD's mother dies and yet I fall for his "lines" of loyalty again; therefor I allow HPD back into my home.
December 2007: I am faced with yet another set of lies between him and secretary. This time I am steadfast and order him gone.
May 2008: HPD comes to town for our daughter's 8th grade graduation. Like a FOOL I allowed him back into my home.
FWD to Jan 2009: HPD decides that he'll make a fortune by becoming a contrator in Iraq. I'm so thankful because now I can carry the plan of escape out.
April 2009: HPD injures knee and ankle while in Iraq. Returns home to workers comp claim.
Nov 2009: HPD has surgery on knee. Dr. forbids taking Demoral with Loritab. I'm convinced that I can slip him both therefore I would not have to endure his sufferings any longer.
I'm getting back on track guys. It's very comforting to know that I can vent to people who know what i'm talking about. So few understand and often times I'm afraid that the others would think that I am crazy if I were t describe the HPD.
Thank you for listening and allowing me tovent.
