CT. My husband is verbally abusive..and he refused to be financially responsible and kept giving me hard time about the money I make (he makes more money) We have a 2-year old son and I want to care for him during the day and his dad to care for him while I waitress at night. I really could make a lot more if I work more hours but he's not willing to watch our son everynight..he says he has outside life too and that he needs time for US but whenever I'm home he takes off to see his friends to go to a bar or something.Anyway, I've had it with all the unsupportive attitude, racial comments and degrading words and the last straw was when he asked me to hand him our joint checking account and for me to open my own account, pay him XX amount of money for rent and utilities, I have to use my own money for my own credit card bills, food etc. Frankly, I couldn't afford an attorney--I tried legal aid but I'm not qualified because of my husband's income and we still live in the same roof. My family are in another State so I just can't pack and go live at my family's. Plus having a 2 year old son complicates things..He doesn't want counseling and has expressed his desire for a divorce as well but won't do it eventhough he has his own Savings (recently I found out about his own savings that he opened during our marriage)and can afford to get one.Where do I go from here? What to do, please tell!!!
