HELP ...I WANT MY HUSBAND TO LEAVE!!
| Sat, 09-16-2006 - 6:52am |
Help! I just don't know what to do! My husband has been verbally abusive since before the marriage (2years ago) and slightly physically abusive. He now complains that I am attacking him and "HURTING" and Absuing him becuase I am finally telling him how much he has crushed me. My husband used to have a great paying job that he hated but he has decided to go back to school for a graduate degree so we have moved in with my parents who have been really nice. We have savings. I don't have a job but I am looking but I have no place to go. But I have asking him DAILY for the past 3 weeks to leave. He won't leave. I want him to leave. What can I do?

Are your parents in agreement that he should leave?
If so, when he's out, pack his bags and put them out the front. And have the locks changed. Call the police (have him arrested) if he tries to break in. If he never goes out, have the police escort him from the house.
This is not his house and he has absolutely no rights to stay there against your parents will.
Then you need to tell them!!!!!

I would urge you to contact your local women's shelter for temporary residence. I'm sure I don't have to tell you that contacting an attorney who is well versed in domestic violence for advice on how to appropriately proceed is the best thing to do, laws vary from state to state and court tolerance varies from city to city and from judge to judge; and attorney who comes recommended in DV will know the ins and outs in your area. A website that may be very helpful to you is Womenslaw.org
I would also strongly urge you to post on the Dealing With Domestic Abuse board. They are in or have been in situations just like yours. Ask them questions, they'll be happy to offer you advice, suggestions and encouragement. Read the posts that are there, both current and archived ones, there's a lot of inspiration and knowledge there. Also read the Domestic Abuse Board's Homepage , it's filled with articles and information that will be very insightful to you. It's there that I first realized my ex had been verbally abusive. Even read the articles that don't seem to pertain to your situation, you'd be surprised how many places you'll find your husband's behavior fitting into and you'll learn a lot about the dynamics of verbal abuse and abuse in general.
