I have been abused by my husband due to my alcoholism. He has torn my MCL, my arm is currently in a sling due to him dragging me and as of last night, he put a pillow over my face to "wake me up". This morning, of course, "I made him do it." I am a stay at home Mom. I am on the PTCO Board, volunteer at school, do the housework, etc.....He only equates accomplishments with money. And yes, I drink wine. He has taken away all access to money, canceled our YMCA membership (which was my outlet) and now I must answer/ask for any financial needs that come up. I am a prisoner. He tells me that he can't afford to divorce me as he makes a very nice income but threatens me with taking my son away. I quit my full-time job to stay home with him and my life has revolved around him. My husband uses that against me. I start counseling next week. I have asked him to go to anger management counseling but it was not until his Mom knew of the situation that he "may" go. She even tried to make an appointment FOR him. His parents are incredibly controlling and I see it but it seems the other family members do not.
Any suggestions?
