I have been married almost6 years to my husband. At first I thought he would get angry because he was unhappy with his life or that he was sad because he had so much loss in his life these past few years. Then at first after he cursed me out and called me names all the time. I thought maybe I did something wrong and it was my fault. I am so confused and I guess I have stayed because I feel like I can do no better than him. He apolgizes to me all the time saying it wont happen again but low and behold it does. He has only put his hands on me 4 times since we have been married. He promised to go to therapy but that has not came to light. We have one child age 7 that we both love but I feel like things are getting worse he calls me names over and over again and I have noone to turn to for help. WHen I did ask for help my parents said I made the bed now lie in it and I do not have the money to move because he controls everything we have. He only gives me 20 dollars a week and now he fills up my tank so I have no way of getting any money out. Everytime I leave he calls my cell phone at least 6 times until I come home and he is now trying to monitor who I am calling.. IT is getting more and more stupid. I am scared of leaving scared of staying. IT has been along time since he has been a real husband to me more like controlling everything. I do not know what to do...I keep hoping that i can get the backbone to leave.. I am not sure what to do because I feel like it is not going to get any better but I am afraid of being on my own and where am I going to go
