I have been married for 18yrs. We have three teens ages 18, 17, and 15. I know the children love me but my husband teaches the children to disrespect me disobey me, he says that he's a christian and because I want obey him he will never give me a divorce and will not ever teach the children to love or respect me. He knows that using the children does hurt me so he uses them. He is very controlling,disrespectful and uses mental and verbal abuse to keep us in his control. My family and friends have disowned me because I won't leave him. I have no resources or safe place to turn with the children.
Thought of fleeing the state or country but afraid he will find us any advice please HELP.
