I am 25 yr old woman going to school for nursing. I have been married 3 yrs with a verbally and physically abusive husband. We have tried to reconcile through church, but now he has become super holy! He says I am a disobedient, rebellious wife. He puts me down and finally said hes sick of it.
I have no family left, a 2 yr old son (ours), and no job. I just go to school. I am so scared, he is going to come home tomarrow (he's a truck driver) and said he's packing everything and taking our son.
I don't know what to do. I was trying to be a ggod wife, btu I was not good enough. Please help me, I am to the point of hysterics.
PS I have called the local shelters, they are full....
I see that this is your first time posting. I'm glad you found this site. You will find some wonderful people here. Make sure you post often about whatever you're feeling. Someone here has endured what you are going through at the moment and will reach out through cyberspace and take you in their arms in a cyber-hug. And they will give you some good advice.
You are in my prayers as of right now. And I'm sending you some (((((hugs))))). Can you call the church where you did your counseling? Do you have some friends there?
I can really identify with you! I had a spouse that became "super holy" along with her abusiveness. Your discription is a snapshot of my X-wife. It's not easy, but you should know that you're not alone. Others have traveled the terrible path you are on.
I endured her verbal, emotional and physical abuse for more than 20 years, always hoping things would get better. They do for some people, but only some. The worse she got the more holier-than-thou she got. She even told me I could not be a believer because I did not agree with her about my "sins".
I insisted she get counseling and her response was to divorce me.
How far are you into nursing school? LVN/LPN or RN?
I am not one of the more "legal issue" wise people here but there are many others here who are.
To those reading, is there anything she can do to file a restraining order or something to keep him from coming into the home and possibly hurting her or taking her child from her?
I would hope there was a way to help her keep a roof over her and her childs head while they get this mess figured out. I'm sure a restraining order is not the correct or possible way to go, but is there anything else?
Hun, whatever advice you get or opportunities you get to be able to stand on your own feet, try your best to TAKE IT. Especially if your are far along into nursing school. Its HARD WORK and very time consuming and it can be a great career choice to support yourself if divorce comes into play.
I hope you get some advice on this and good luck to you. Keep posting, keep reading, come here to vent....it helps
