I am considering giving up my kids temporary because I can no longer care for them 100%. Yes, my husband does live here with me, but he doesn't really help me. The only thing he fucking cares about is playing his 360, and forcing me to have sex with him. I am going to leave everything for a couple weeks soon. I know I need help and I should get some because feeling this sad is not normal. I am tired of being forced to have sex! I deserve better. I have been saying up money for when I leave. I don't know how much I will need because I don't know if I will go to the hospital or go some place else. Like run away. I'm 27 and talking about running away. People say why I just don't leave him. I am going to leave. I already have my divorce papers. I have my emergency bag ready to go as well.

I was sexual abused when I was younger, and I never received help for it. Probably because I never told anyone. He brings these memories back and I can not deal with it. I never thought a woman can be raped by her own husband, but I experienced it so I know now.

There are some groups here that might specialize in some of the particular experiences youve suffered, plus staying with us at Depression. Many of us belong to several groups. Im sorry i have no good advice, just that suggestion. I am sad for your situation right now.

Does your community have a domestic violence shelter? Many shelters allow children as well as the abused spouse, probably because if one is being abused, the other risks abuse as well. I hope you are able to get into therapy soon. You deserve so much better than what you are getting.

Yes a woman can be raped by her husband
And I am sorry that you're going through this.
A woman's shelter may be a good place to look into
Also please consider going to the ER if you need immediate support

Also I would consider looking into some therapy for yourself as it may help you to process the past that you have survived

Here if you need someone to talk to

    I'm horrified!  I knew my insurance would go up due to getting a new car but I didn't expect it to go up over $2,000.  I did have an accident with the snow/ice in the winter.  I was just telling my brother that I have had my car since March 2, 2026 and have only spent $75 on an oil change.  Now this!  I called another insurance company and their quote was over $4,000.  I guess I have to pay...
