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 ~
