One in the lonliest Numberrr

One love, one hurt, we get to carry each other. Love Hurts, love swarms, love stinks yeah yeah!
This has been one fucked up year for me. I met Caleb one year ago. We dated for less than a year then for unknown and stupid reasons we felt that we loved each other enough to get engaged and married aka elope. April 1, 2008 was my 28th b-day. I had invited my grandparents to come over for a family b-day party. I invited Caleb as well. That next day, my dad had come up to see me. Caleb and I were eloping that night. We went to the 99 to eat. I was trying to get back to downtown Bevelry to meet Caleb. I didn't tell Dad what was going on. I just told him I had to be downtown at 5:30.
So the first few weeks of April began my fucked up marriage to Caleb. We lived in and out of hotels, I drained my college savings account which was meant to pay for tuition and books. In April, Caleb casually asked me if I was ever sexually abused cause that night he'd gone out to meet with one of the guys who had sexually abused him. I said no at first but thought of my stepdad which he really didn't do those things I'd said about him. I had told everyone all this due to pressure from Caleb and his family. I never wanted to press charges or make Mom and Matt go through what they went through these past six months.
I'm in the process of restoring my life and the lives of those around me. Caleb and I have had a rough month and a half. We had moved to a boarding house, the Greycoft Inn in Beverly the end of July and had stayed there until Labor Day in Septemeber. We were evicted from our room Greycoft Inn cause of Caleb and his dad calling the police a couple times which made the tennants who live there angy at Caleb and I.
We were homless and had to find a place to stay. We spent a night at a friend's apartment. I had spent a few weeks in a psych ward due to the stress of being homeless and all. After I got out of the phych ward Caleb and I met Debbie, a freind who works at the Anchor who helped us go to Action Sheler in Gloucester. We stayed there for a week until Caleb decided that he would leave the shelter this past Sunday night. The rules at this shelter is that people can't sign out once they sigh in for the night. If they do, they can't return to the shelter for three days at a minimum.
Caleb had spent Sunday night at his brother's apartment then another night at his parents' house. The other day, his dad dropped Caleb off in front of the shelter. It hadn't been three days yet. Someone had told Caleb he could come back sooner which was false information. Caleb got into some confrontations with some of the staff. He spent that night in a friend's car then walked over to the shelter to see me. We had walked to DD to hang out until I met Mom. Caleb had wanted to stay wiht me in Beverly until he gets a job and moves out on his own.
Mom, Matt, and most of my family told me that I'd have to be strong and leave Caleb in the dust. Caleb did come to Beverly with Mom and I but Mom had dropped him off in front of Atomic Cafe. Later on, I found out that Caleb's friend Joel was driving him to Beverly Hospital. As of now he's been admitted to the same phych ward I had stayed at three weeks earlier. I've asked Carol, the manager of the rooming house to help me get a legal separation and divorce from Caleb.
As for me, I'm gonna live with Mom and Christina a few days during the week, some nights I'll stay in Bevelry. Since the legal stuff over Matt isn't resolved yet, Matt will stay at a hotel/motel the nights I stayt in Beverly. My dad is offering to take me in for a few days... I might spend some weekends with him and Linda.

So, that's all folks.... hope to keep in touch
