maggie07 Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 I finally ready to leave my husband but he wont leave the house that i pay all the bills for.... It use to be a good marriage but after 7yrs hes become mean, he done every thing from cheating, mental abuse towards me and my oldest(from a pervious relationship), and a couple of times of physicall abuse. to make a long story short im finally tired of me last in his life and being told that my not worth keeping, I cook, clean, all house work, i dont drink, dont do drugs and when ever he needs something i find a way to do it. He is a hard worker and a great father to his daughter, my youngest, but my oldest and i have been through enough what do i do?? im not happy
LakesideDream Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 The answer is obvious, If he has physically abused you in the past... obviously you must be in fear of him abusing you again. Drive down to the court house and apply for a protective order. Easy... ipsy, pipsy, bing and bang... he's have a few dozen hours to leave the domicile, and be ordered to stay a certain number of feet from you and your stepchild whom he's abused. Eventually a custody and visitation schedule will be worked out for you and the child you share with your husband. You really don't have much of a problem. You can walk away any time you want. Everybody's doing it! While I may sound a little (or a lot) cynical reality is, it's true. Seriously, if you are abused, and are sure that you sure that you want divorce again, and start a new life again, it's in your power to get it done. Call a lawyer and get started ! There's lots of men out there, so there sure to be one willing to be #3.
BestAdvisor1 Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 he done every thing from cheating, mental abuse towards me and my oldest(from a pervious relationship), and a couple of times of physicall abuse. Cheating AND physical abuse? One of those should be more than sufficient for some one to leave. What's keeping you from leaving?
confuseddd Posted December 12, 2007 Posted December 12, 2007 what's keeping her there? I'll tell you. The fear of the unknown and the fear of making a mistake that you can't fix. I KNOW cuz that is were I'm at. I want out of my marriage but am fearful of the future and the unknown. good luck, hope you get some answers soon.
