Pat - if you're husband is verbally abusing you, and you're staying with him because you don't feel like you can make it on your own, leave anyways! It's always said that "no time is the right time" to make a financial decision, and there's plenty of resources out there to help you get on your feet. I'd much rather have it that way, then to see someone get broken down by cruelty - it would lead to depression and anguish. Please think hard!

There is never a good time financially; however, verbal abuse usually accelerates to physical abuse. Some women don't live to tell about it. Forget the finances, you are dealing with your life...get out of it while you still can!

You need to contact a support group in your area for abused women. They can help you leave the situation. you should leave verbally abusive men eventually become physically abusive men and with so many women being murdered by their husbands these days it's better to be safe than sorry.

My mom stayed with my abusive dad for economic reasons. She suffered for ten years before ending up leaving anyway. She wishes to God now that she had done it sooner! And if you have kids, it is even more imperative. Every day with an abusive man your children's esteem is being destroyed, and so is their own ability to have a decent relationship!
It is rough, I know. But gather together your important stuff, find a friend or close relative, and just do it. Contact your local women's shelter if you need help, or even an attorney. My mom did it, and is so much happier and successful now. You can do it, too! Good luck!

I know it is scary, but you need to leave.
There is a really thin line between verbally abusive and physically abusive. You don't want to wait until he cross that line to leave.
Do you have any family that could help you while you get on your financial and emotional feet? Do you have education or marketable skills that can help you get a job?
You may want to check with religious organizations, women's shelters, or government agencies...they often have programs, counselors, and resources that can help you get on your feet.
Best of luck. You take care of yourself--first and foremost!

There are women's clinics around that can help you financially just look one up....don't continue to stay in a abusive relationship. And don't depend on a man.

there are women's shelters you can go to. If you're just afraid of leaving financially, you'll never leave. Get some calcium, build those bones up and get strong.
