I am in rhode island, been married for 4 years together for almost 10 years.... I am in a marrige with a controlling husband, and I need out and no one will help me. I am not allowed friends so i have none my family is all deceased. I have a 9 year old daughter... I have had several jobs and everyone he has either made me quit or quit for me because he says it interfers with his schedual. I am smart and able to work. He is constantly degrading me a saying awful things about me and to my daughter. I am not allowed to even food shop anymore and I am left with sometimes 10 dollars for the week. My daughter vocalized last yr in school she was scared of her father and how he always yelled at me and even her at times. he is always vocalizing how much he hates woman. He has told me infront of my daughter, if you think you are getting my kid make it good because Ill take you on the street and shoot you with a gun. He is constantly threatening me with stuff. He always says how much he hates me and woman in general infront of my daughter. If we go out me and my daughter we rush home and get scared because we know we are going to get an attitude.I hate him so much. He threatens all the time I will lose my daughter and that would kill me ... We have two houses free and clear both were pre marital both in just his name..........House insurance is in both our names......any lawyer that i talk to says I get NOTHING at all. No Lawyer will help me because I am not employeed. I called the Bar association as well for a volunteer lawyer and was told id have to get a restraining order ONLY if he hits me and go live in a shelter which i refuse to do because i have no family or friends here to get out. Also legal aid is a 5 yr waiting list and I cant wait that long. The only friends I have live out of state in Pennsylvania where i could start a new life and get a great job. I am so so desperate because i have spend all week on the phone with lawyers who have all turned their backs on me and i have pleaded and i have cried and i had a few hang up on me. I am so desperate I am ready to take my child and go to PA and leave this state. My home life is so so bad and I am so so unhappy. Where do I stand what can I do... WHy cant I get help, this is why some woman just take off now i know first hand I am so ready. please please help me....and my daughter. I dont want her growing up thinking this is right that mom sleeps upstairs and dad sleeps downstairs in the den and it is right with all this verbal abuse... Please help us I am so desperate and ready to run
