'I broke my lease — it wasn’t worth it to put myself in so much danger.'
"I finally said goodbye to my physically and mentally abusive ex-partner. When we first met, we clicked and got on like a house on fire. Everyone said we were perfect for each other. I quickly moved in with him. At the time, I was unemployed and didn't have anywhere proper to live. I thought he was helping me out. Now, I realize he was making sure he had an extra hold on me. I was guilt-tripped, manipulated, and scared for a long time during our relationship.
"When I gave my notice, the director offered me a 100% raise on the spot. I told him if I was worth that much then, what was his excuse last year? I'd never felt so good walking away from a job!"What's a time in your own life when you took a financial hit to get out of a toxic job, relationship, or environment?
