[quote=Anonymous]OP, please call The Women’s Center in Vienna or DC. I was in a  similar situation and spent nearly 5 years trying to leave and walking on eggshells with the tactics and attempts to cause misery out of anger. I was terrified and even too scared to file for the first year. He had a weapon and was 100% unpredictable, delusional, and irrational at times. I called the police and then was afraid to press charges. It is really tough when you are working to leave — the mental abuse is sometimes worse than anything else. I didn’t even bother asking for anything fair, I just wanted to leave. He still made it as difficult as possible. Please consider the book PP recommended, and call The Women’s Center. There is a lot of good advice in this thread. When you’re afraid to protect yourself there isn’t anything wrong with you, you just may need help learning how to.

By the way, the advice someone gave me 2 years into the divorce?

He cannot MAKE you stay married. You CAN divorce without him agreeing to.

File for divorce so you get the clock started. The court had seen it all. It won’t go past 2 years or so if you file right away. Can you afford an attorney? [/quote]
