Thanks Steve, but I can't leave. My entire family is in NY- we live in NC (about 10 hrs by car)- I can't leave the boys and I can't take the out of school and go to NY with them (husband would have me arrested I'm sure). He wants me to leave the kids so that he can say I've abandonded them.
I don't know anyone around here yet- we only moved from NY 3 months ago.
