Have you contacted the National Domestic Violence hotline? Please consider giving them a call. 1?800?799?7233
You absolutely should do this, OP. Do you have children? If not, this group can help you put together an safe exit plan, but you have some easier options. If there are children involved, things get a lot more complicated. Unfortunately, men who are abused face a high risk of being accused of abuse themselves when they try to leave, and since, statistically speaking, men are far more likely to be physically abusive than women, women making false accusations ae given a far greater benefit of the doubt than their abused husbands. Thus hotline will help you put a plan together to bolster your case against your wife for custody.
