    Everyone says leave. Can someone tell my how, where to go, and how to support myself?

    Everyone has not advised you to leave. If that is your decision, then you find a job - you have posted you are disabled but have coverage which allows you to collect and work part-time - and then the rest falls into place.

    Everyone has done their very best to advise you and I don't know what you expect anyone to say that hasn't already been said.

    If you have no where to go or anyone to stay with you can always go to a shelter or start looking around for a place.

    Do what you feel like you are able to do when you feel you are ready. I understand it's scary to be in your position. My husband likes to make disrespectful comments around other family members, so I do understand some of what you are going through.

    First you are not stupid, everybody makes mistakes but nobody deserves to be disrepected and belittled. You need to talk to your husband and see what the problem so you all can resolve it yourselves. I know you love him but believe me I've been through this before and it is very stressful. If you don't resolve it now you will be very drained. While I was in the same situation not only did it weigh heavy on me but I became very sick from the stress. At 20 yrs old (many yrs ago) I developed "Shingles" from the stress and my hair began to fall out. The Shingles run up and down your nerves and sends shocking pains in that area, not a very good feeling. Get out if this situation if he's not willing to change, for your own health. If he truly loves you as his wife then he'll work through this for the sake of you all future. I hope I helped a little!

    I'm sorry you went through this but shingles is not caused by stress. Shingles is caused by the same virus - varicella zoster virus - which also causes chickenpox. The virus remains in your central nervous system, dormant (without symptoms). When the virus becomes active again, it causes the symptoms of shingles. No one is sure why the virus becomes active. However, it does seem to be linked to a weakened immune system, such as in people who are ill (such as with cancer or HIV), have had major surgery.

    This virus is in the same family as herpes.
