Divorce Support Forums: Please help me to get out ....

I am an American citizen, immigrated from an Asian country, and my Engish is second language.

My husband is a professional law enforcement working for the US federal government overseas, but we both registered as SD residents. We are currently living overseas.

I am in a desperate situation of how to get out of a dictator and can be abusive sometimes.

I came from a very big city and a professional woman with a son who is 15 years old . My husband prevented me from meeting people and work after we got married in 2001, I had to stay home cleaning, taking care of his 3 small children from his previous marrige, not driving, the only time I could get out of the house was the time we went shopping for groceries, and etc... He treats me in a very old fashion, when the woman has no voice, but just a medal on his wall or a cute puppy must obey him at all times. Things will spin him up if things are not as he expected or not like what he thinks.

I have dealt with countless of times miseraries in this marriage, and now, I don't think that I can continue suffer, as I still have to keep me healthy to raise my son till he can stand on his own feet.

I can't get assistance from lwyer especially when we are overseas like this, and he several times tempted to kick me and my son out of the house with empty hands if I don't act like a puppy obey 100% his orders, regardsless it is right or wrong. He has 2 ex-wives, one American lady and one Japanese lady. I found out that the first ex has been his enemy till he dies simply because she knew her rights before and after divorce, the 2nd ex is his dear friend because she accepted any thing he said or ordered during and after the divorce. He divorced her because she once dared to say something in contrary his wish.

I can't leave him now because I don't know what the future will hold and because he knows so many things in the matters of laws, and similar things... and I know almost nothing since I wasn't born in the US, and total time I lived there for only 3 months, I have no friends and family in the US, but I am US citizen now, I can't come back to the country where I came from because I had gave up my citizenship from that country....

I am just a like a small boat floating on the ocean, and I feel like I can't see the shore without help... I am so desparate...

Please help me to find some good advices so that I can sail my boat to shore, to take care of my son...

Thank you!
