Q: Abused And No Money - how to get out?
asked by: wutch on December 10th, 2007

I have been in an abusive relationship for five years. We have been together for seven years. At first it was little digs. Then it became constant verbal abuse even in front of the kids. He says things like I'm a loser, a dumb donkey, I will never amount to anything etc. He has pushed me a few times and one time threw me across the room. He verbally abuses my son to the point that he is now in counseling. But his childen are angels. My biggest problem is he has control of all the money. I have been trying to get a job in my field, but right now there is nothing available. I have no financial way out. My children no longer need to live like this nor should they have ever had to. When I do work he cuts me down and tells me I will never make what he does. I have been thinking about a shelter but my children would have to leave the school they have grown up in. His anger is building daily and so is his hatred for my children. I have no family to turn to. Does anyone have any advice. I am realy desperate.

Some people tends to do what your partner do to cover up what his/her shortcoming. If he starts verbally abuse your children it is time for you to stand up for you and your children, you don't need this from him or anyone else, summon all your confident and tell yourself you can do what he's been telling you that you can't and YES your children donesn't need to live like this. All is up to you now. Always think positive about yourself, you can do it! Good luck.

You are precious
if you have a look on the net and type in circle of violence it may give you some more insight into power and control and may have support contacts in your area. its part of the game to isolate you. abuse is a serious issue and i agree with the others, and that while you are being degraded it is teaching your children that this is normal. Alot is taught to young people about what is normal just by being in a situation. they will often then take that into their own relationships unless there is intervention. (hate females, hate father figures)but at this point you are important, you were not created to be abused. emotional abuse is just as destructive,and yes it is often through others insecurities that it manifests from their own childhood. are you able to see a councillor who specialises in this field,A job in any field may be an option just to build you up, in the circle of violence it teaches you about the control and finances putting you in a situation where you feel you are powerless and cannot leave, he has you pinned,

you dont have to put up with it, i grew up in a very violent home, it left many emotional scars. my mother died prematurely from alcoholism, i now have 4 beautiful children that she has never known.

her lawyer interviened and thretend to take us children away, she finally left. abuse does not result in happy and secure for anyone. You have one life choose wisely how you spend it. good on you for having the courage to start seeking help, you are allowed.

my mum would hide money so one day we could escape. the time did come when we did get free we were scared, we lived in refuge and i knew it was ok becase we had eachohter. the biggest reason he says you cant do it, is that if you break free you will expose what he has been doing, and wiht that comes accountability. that is not yours to carry, its his bagage,his illness. he has no right to crush you or your children.
