I've been married for 8 1/2 years. We have 2 children, the older child is his son from a previous relationship, whom I've legally adopted and raised for the past 8 years. Every time I leave him, he proceeds to make my life a living nightmare. He calls me at work, constantly, which I'm more than sure has cost me more than 1 job, he makes DYFS (child services) complaints against me, which are never substantiated, however, just having those people in my house is irritating enough. I've even had restraining orders on him, which do absolutely nothing, since when I call the police, they take over an hour to come to my aid. At this point, I'm ready to do whatever it takes to leave him. He's just completely nasty to me and the kids and we just want him to leave. Problem is, I can't afford to live on my own. Is there some sort of program that can help me get on my feet? My kids have been through enough, I don't want to have to move them to a new place and a new school.
