I have no say in this matter.

My mother's husband is extremely mentally and emotionally abusive, but not physically. I've been telling her for 10+ years to get rid of him, but they would always "reconcile".
The control and mental abuse has reached an all time high and gets crazier by the minute. (speaking things like "she is controlled by satan" and a "evil rotten sinner" )
He controls all of the money and my mother has no savings. He has control of the only car. He refuses to give my sister who is a minor lunch money for school or support her finacially. He also refuses to support my mother finacially.
Right now there is no food, toilet paper, paper towels, heat in the house.
My mother is not allowed to withdraw money from their joint account as he says it is all his.
For weeks he starts at 6am in the morning complaining that she owes him money.
She cannot afford a lawyer of any kind. everyone walks on egg shells in the house.
How do we get rid of him? What do we do?
I already told you what to do. If your mother or sister are endangered, you can call social services.I've been going through this most of my life, as I did used to live with them. As a child I would not be allowed to go to the doctor unless there was an extreme emergency. The $5 co-payment was just to much.
I have been subjected to the same mental and emotionally abuse my mother is facing. I have had holy water thrown at me. I myself was once cut off from lunch money when I was in high school.
I'm not going into too much details as I fear he can find this thread and it will make matters worse.
My mother won't do anything because she feels that she can't. He has all of the money and always has. She is 60 now and can't really get a job. This is a marriage of 30 years. She'd leave for good this instant if she felt she could.
I am not in the middle for the sake of it. This situation is out of control.
Yes, it is. No one said it's easy.She will not take any action b/c she does not believe there are free services. She insists it's just free consultation. (which she's probably right..?)
So I just call social services. They will either do nothing because the husband will lie through his teeth or put my sister in foster care. Problem SOLVED!
Then I tell my 60 y/o mother to go find a job. I will pay for my sister's schooling and needs also. All while trying to support myself. Guess I will have to pay for an apartment for them also. This should be no problem since I make barely $400 a week. Problem SOLVED!
Sorry about the sarcasm, but this is extremely frustrating.
