abused wife

I am 40 years old and live in a small-ish town where I was born.  I was raised by good parents and always looked forward to being an adult and living my dreams.

I have an education and am always doing any temp job I can find.

My problem area is in the men I have met, specifically my husband.  This has been my only marriage and I truly thought it would be for life ~ I was determined to never get a divorce.  I have countless books about how to save a marriage, understand your alcoholic spouce etc but I finally realized I was with someone who didn't have a good heart and nothing I could do could make him that way.

I sell items online ~ toys or clothes we no longer can use but it only brings in a small amount.  I have been looking for work but haven't landed a job yet ~ this area is harder unless you're an engineer or nurse, it seems.  I look forward to moving to a larger area so we can start our life over ~ I pray that my husband does not try to follow us or hurt me and need to get a will in case something does happen to me.

If there is anything you would like to know about me, feel free to contact me ~

Children & mom NEED to leave abusive husband/dad ~ He has ALL the money!

Hi,

I am a mom to 2 daughters who are not in school yet.  I would add a pic but afraid someone my husband knows would see this and then I would be in deep trouble.

I am 39 years old and have been married almost 7 years.  When I married my husband, I was so happy and had only the highest hopes for our family.

A few months after we married, I discovered he has a drinking and gambling problem.  He subsequently became very abusive towards us.  It became physical during my 2nd pregnancy.  I have been working on "fixing" our marriage for years but have finally realized he does not have a good heart and nothing I can do will help.

I am afraid he will kill me when I try to leave but know it's our only chance at a safe future... I am also very concerned about his overtly-sexual behavior towards our daughters. 

He has control over all the money ~ he would never put my name on the bank accounts and won't even let me see what we have in the bank.  I make small amounts of money from odd jobs and am looking for more secure employment.

I know that I need to leave but I have no money.  I need an attorney and a small amount to reloacte if necessary.  I'm worried about the attorney most of all because he has told me repeatedly that if I try to leave him, he will ruin me and take the children.  I believe he will try because he has destroyed my property out of anger when I don't do what he wants.

If anyone could help my children and I, I would be forever grateful and am willing to do whatever it takes to get my children into a safe and stable home.

thank you so much ~
