Stop that right now! You have nothing to be ashamed of. I do understand, though.
It is a matter of survival. In my mind, you are choosing to survive in the only way that you feel you can. Now that you fully realize why you have not felt able to move forward and build a real life for your true self, you can begin to look for resources and develop a plan to resolve the obstacles. You are a battered woman. You might want to seek out a support group and other resources available to battered women.

You are being kept as a slave.
> Also, with only a disability supplement as income (in advance of what unknown alimony I might receive), it's near impossible to rent a livable place to live.
A federal Section 8 housing subsidy would enable you to rent a one bedroom apartment with your having to pay only 30% of your income. It is easy to get in some states (counties / municipalities), and nearly impossible to get in others. You might as well get your name on the list.

I know.
Are you afraid to be alone in life?
I am.
Do you feel unmarketable?
I do.
Do you feel unlovable?
I most definitely do NOT.
Please know that you are lovable.
