I am in a relationship with a man 30 years older than me. He is verbally, emotionally, and psychologically abusive to me. I am trapped with him...my only income is social security, which is not enough to live on with two children. I want to get away from him so bad....but it seems like there is no way out. I tried to get help through the local domestic violence office, but they could only put us in a motel for two days. Since my son is 17, he's considered a man, and they do not allow men to live in the women's shelter. I have no family that can help me, and he has alienated all the friends I once had. I don't know what to do, I'm desperate to have him out of my life. Being disabled, it's hard to find a job and I really have no job skills. The abuse keeps getting worse and worse and I'm afraid he will kill me if I stay with him. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Serious only please.
