SadCat Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 My husband just informed me that he wants me to move out of our house and start supporting myself immediately. It has been quite a shock and I'm beyond stressed out. We have 2 kids together, 4 and 2. Our oldest has autism, which is why I haven't worked in 4 years. Well that and my husband convinced me to give up my career to support his... So he could take care of me. Yeah, that didn't work out so well. I want to go, but not like this. I don't have a job, any money, or even any clothes to start working. I am not exaggerating when I say I don't even own a pair of shoes. I have ONE pair of slippers and a bunch of ratty home clothes. He has been emotionally abusive for a while (and a few times physically abusive). So now I have no friends and no family left I can get help from. (Anyone familiar with abusive relationships knows what I am talking about.). And I don't want to fight to stay here. I can't imagine the treatment I would get if I stayed after my deadline for moving out. There is no way I will get any money from him. For one, he has not officially worked for the past 2 years and we have no assets and no savings. I don't know what to do. I've been crying non stop worrying about this.
d0nnivain Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Do not move until you have spoken to a lawyer. If you are in the US reach out to organizations like Dress for Success. They can help you with clothes.
