Answer 1

Call the local women's abuse shelter. Look in the yellow pages. They have lots of resources and help. It's sometimes very hard to break away.

Answer 2

I was in an abusive relationship for 8 years also. I was not allowed money, use of a phone or car, friends. I went to a local battered womans shelter and got my life back. They will give you all the info you need and counseling. All you do is go there, they take care of the rest.

Answer 3

There are two places you can contact. First is the national abuse hotline. Their number is 1-800-799-7233. They can tell you a close place to you that will give you shelter and help.

Also you can use the contact below. I have placed a link where you can see the closest place to where you live in Georgia.

You can also contact your local police department and ask for the number of a local womens shelter.

Good luck to you and get out as quickly as possible.

There are things you can do but you have to want to leave this situation and you have to want to have thing better once you wnat these things and you ask for help even if it is from your higher power opportunities will open! Trust in the Lord with all your heart you have nothing to loss by doing this and the one you gave your heart to has stompped all over it so make the choice and stick to it, open your heart and ask others for help it will only be temporary! Best wishes! and Be safe!

Answer 6

You need to get out of that house as soon as possible. If you have any family around see if you can move in for a short time. If not you need to find the closest office of social services and go there and explain your situation and ask them for help. They could direct you to a house with troubled women as with your case and also help you to stand on your own. Man like your husband turn from bad to worse, don't wait till the worse comes and then it is too late.
You need to take action now.

Answer 7

start figuring out where the money is going / are you on any accounts. start liquidating valuables/ convert to travelers checks. one day when he goes to work have a yard sale and sell all the household goods . use the grocery money , and buy a ticket to another state. use craigslist.com / find a roomate furnished apartment / take it or go to a shelter if you can't afford for a month or two. start applying for jobs, temp jobs place you really fast like in a day in your bigger cities. if car is in your name / take the car. you can start all over . physical abuse is big ... but mental abuse / most people don't even recognize and it goes on for years. it's not different punching out someone till them self esteem is black and blue. you wear your bruises on the inside.

Answer 8

Bless your heart don't you have any family that you can call to come and get you or a neighbor. A hospital will treat you weather you have money or not. I know going to a women's shelter sounds scary but they will help you mentally and physically feed you that's what there for, I wish I was in Georgia I would help you. My prayers are with you

Answer 9

Entra, you would be wise to seek the assistance of any Women's Shelter or other organization available to women in your area. Many of these spots take in abusive women and children and provide a safe environment for them until they feel better fitted to go own their own. As well they usually have a legal counsel that helps explain your rights and privileges. Best of luck to you,
