Once again, thanks KD. I suppose the dilemma I'm faced with is face up to things here or go back to the UK where things are barely any better ! Would be nice to be able to help my girlfriend through her demons too, too often in the past I've legged it without a thought for the trail I've left behind.

Well I must say thanks for the rapid replies ! Makes me feel I'm not alone, thanks especially Segagirl, seems you are the wise one here ! Swingfox ? Well thanks for your cheap flights guidance but its July, not Jan/Feb and its nearly the weekend ! Cripes ! As for Kdreger, well maybe you'd like to exchange places here, but yeah, I see where you're coming from, its just I'm desperately trying to be subtle, which I've never done before, this is one of those things that needs thought. Have you seen the space here in South Florida ? If she threw me out on the street I'm sure it would be weeks before anyone noticed !

OK here is the scenario, I hammered the booze a lot in the past and lost everything and so decided a change of town was the answer. Briefly put, I was living in South London, UK, and used to have a good ( but mind numbing) job, a girlfriend who was 14 years younger than me, a house (owned) in the suburbs, tree lined streets and all that, beautiful little boy etc. It took me a while after we split up but I moved away (after rehab), moved to the coast, got a new job, own place etc then discovered the net ! After a couple of wrong moves I had the chance of moving to Florida after a years online relationship with a divorcee. Great, she was attractive ( sent me dated photos), successful ( her ex took everything) and was dying for me to come over, quit my crap job, horrible flat etc. So against my better judgement I did, my life was shite anyway, what did I have to lose ? Well for a start the 'too good too be true girlfriend' was just that, chubby (not like her photos, although I have nothing against chubby people), possessive in the extreme and a psychopath to boot (ie: threatening suicide if I ever left etc !). Ok, heres the bottom line, I trusted her so much I let my return ticket run out and I am literally at her mercy as regards getting back to the UK. Sounds neave I know, I'm not, but to put it in laymans terms she terrifies me, I've run out of money and I need some serious tips on how to dig myself out of this hole.
