My husband is so angry and conflicted, our life has become a nightmare roller coaster ride.

He has been emotionally and verbally abusive for months, refusing to face the financial and other challenges my RA/DD/CP has created.

He refuses to see that he is making things worse and refuses us any help, counseling, reading, anything so we can get past this

- He is in denial and so conflicted
- He can't or won't stop his abusive words
- We are running out of time and money
- He's threatened to leave me if I can't work
- He's thretened to sell my car
- He's threatened not to pay my bills
- I am now dependant on this man

I am VERY scared. This is my LIFE

What can I do!?!

" Some people are totally money oriented, and your husband sounds like one of them. I worked with a man who divorced his high earning wife because she would only work part time with two children: fast forward, he rushed into another marriage to be able to afford paying for the first.
You take care of yourself and your pain and let the chips fall where they may with this man. He will be counting his money while you will be enjoying life for the right reasons: it's good riddance time...he certainly is an arse! "
