I'm stuck here is this nightmare. Nowhere to go. I've been a SAHM for 12yrs. Husband is controlling and mentally abusive. He controls everything financially, I'm trapped. The house is in joint names and the cars. I'm resigned to the fact that I'm going to have to live and sleep in the box room when he's home to get away from the abuse. I have to ask him for money for everything and justify it. I know I need to get away but I have nothing and nobody. It's very draining being treated so degradingly. I still cook and clean clothes for him it's not worth the trouble if I don't, he knows I'm trapped.
