I am not sure who to call,but I think that if you were to contact a womens shelter they try to get you back on your feet and assist you with getting your life back on track.Or a call to the local welfare office to see what info they have for you,I am trying to think of ideas for who you can call and this is all my mind is pulling up.  |

Thanks Medusa I am going to try the welfare office as much as I hate the idea I dont see much of a choice and maybe they can give me some more numbers. I am trying to figure out a way I can work but everytime I mention it my husband tells me if I get a job I need to find somepalce else to live.  |

Sounds to me like he has a control problem,and thinks that you are one of the kids not his equal.Sometimes in relationships you have to walk away and make a new life for yourself where you will be much healthier and happier and so will the kids. |

Hey Jess. I didn't know that you were going through anything like this, I had no idea. I'm in sort of the same situation now, you've replied to a couple of my posts I think. I don't have a job, money, or car either, and no friends or family. That's the first thing that I would suggest to you, is to first ask your friends or family for help. And you can also go to social services for assistance with bills and food and sometimes even housing. I hope that everything will turn out okay for you. If you ever want to talk, just msg me! Hugs!  |

awwww, i am so sorry to hear how rough it is for you. i would say to call your local department of social services. they can usually help you find what you are looking for in situations like this. i was in a situation like this before myself. social services can provide you with names and locations of shelters, cheap housing, they can help you with income and child care until you are back on your feet. they can even help you with locating a job. just get out while you can. even a little bit of abuse is still abuse.i hope everything works out for you and i am here if you need me.  |

Is there a relative that you can stay with for a week or so? If you have a place that you can stay for a week, even if you save up enough money to stay at a cheesy motel for a week, you should be able to walk right into social services and apply for emergency assistance. Here is a link I found on the web that may be helpful also. http://www.keysweb.info/Orgs-HR/abuse_help.htm Get in touch with one of the numbers that helps with domestic abuse cases. You have a domestic abuse situation and these people should be able to put you into contact with places that help. They may be able to relocate you to a safe house where they can help you get a job, go to school, gain assistance and even find a suitable apartment for you to go to. Have you considered what his reaction is going to be if you leave? Will you or the kids be in physical danger if and when you do this? If so, they can help with restraining orders, filing for custody etc. I still stand by my earlier suggestion to you on one of your posts about this situation. Start stashing away left over grocery money, put $1 less in the car for gas. If he checks into money and wants receipts from the grocery store. Spend all that he gives you, go back to the service counter and return it. They punch it up on a different slip. Just return a few items that produce a couple of bucks.  |
