my husband and i haven't been getting along for a long times been with him for more than seven years have two kids. He's mentially Abusive to the kids and I. I could say stories that have happened in the past year but rather not cause I know I shouldn’t stay. I don’t want to run to my family because they all have their own problems right now. I don’t have much money at all to go anywhere I receive unemployment for now for a few more months. I just go down stair and tell the kids to stay in their rooms so they don’t get yelled at. My husband is laid off and has been for some time now he wants the house quite all the time along with clean.

What can I do next?

If you don't have family/friends that can help you then you should contact the shelters for help. They will give you the guidance you need to get out of the miserable situation that you are in. When you contact them, see if there is free counseling help that you can get. You are all going to need it.

You might try talking to your family. They may be having problems right now to but if there is room, then maybe they can help you and you can help them. You won't know if you don't talk to them. You should at least let them know what is going on so they can help be your support group when you do leave.

If you can, find a job where you can go when kids are in school (so you don't leave them alone with their father) and move to a friend's/relative's house or shelter where you can get help. Nothing that is happening to you should be considered "normal", I know you are a strong woman and you can save yourself and the children...take the action that is most appropriate after getting enough information, especially regardind custody of the children if you separate. SInce your husband is abusive you have many chances to get your kids. Save yourself and them!
