[quote=Anonymous]Don't be afraid to leave and seek help.  Only you know the real extent of his abuse.  If you feel that you are in danger or your child is in danger, you really do need to leave.

In my limited experience, I know that I didn't realize the full extent of the abuse until I left my husband.  When you are belittled and put down over a long time period, it kind of becomes your new normal.  I am still working on getting over the feeling of helplessness and trying to regain my confidence.

The police and court systems may not be too helpful (I don't know -- but I imagine that they require certain standards of proof).  The shelters and women's centers, however, should be more equipped to deal with this.

You can also try contacting New Beginnings which is a support group for people leaving marriages and seeking divorce.  They should be able to put you in touch with some women in MoCo who have been through similar experiences.  While they are not legal experts, they can be an amazing support and resource network.[/quote]
