Im pregnant at the moment and have already 2 small children. I dont know where to go or what to do. I dont have family or friends. Im sahp and dont work. Im married for 8 years. Im wanting to divorce for a long time but was affraid now I cant take it anymore. I dont have any money. I dont have any accounts or paying bills, nothing is on mine name. Everything is in his name.

I don't have any advice for you but it sounds very difficult. Sounds like your DH is being financially abusive. What other issues do you have? Are you in the UK?

Yes I am in the uk. He is British. He is and he reminds me everytime that everything I wear or do is because of him and should be thankfull. Mine issues are that Im tired of being his slave. I can't work he decides who im friends with, Im cant see mine family whenever I want because he has money. I always have to ask for money. No he says lets see how far I can go now I want to go. But I cant go I feel Im stucked in this house which is a jail. Im everyday crying.

Your local police could probably help you get into a refuge with your children and you would get lots of support to rebuild your life.

If you are from India or Pakistan I think that there are groups who are able to help you
Do you feel safe?

Thank you for the replies. He is not physically abusive but over the years I have been so dependent on him. Im afraid to make decisions without him. Because I have nothing I dont think I can get far from him and still be dependent on him. Over the years he made be depend on him so much that Im affraid to make friends or meet new people. He does buy me expensive stuff and jewellery which I wear when I meet his family but behind close doors. I do everytjing for the children and him. I cant do anything without him knowing. Im bout to give birth and he invited his family to cpme over and I have to serve them from morning till evening. Cooking cleaning feeding them. And I have only few days before giving birth. Im tired and exhausted of it all.

Abuse is not only physical. He is using money to control you and limit your ability to act independently. This is emotional and financial abuse. Women's Aid can help.
