[visiting ask me]

My husband won't let me move out. I told him 4 months ago, after years and years of emotional, verbal & at times physical abuse that I couldn't remain in a relationship w a man I was scared of. As he's been out of work for nearly two years, our financial situation has been precarious (I have a pretty good full time job; but it's not enough to support us & our 2 boys, who are 4 & 10). He begged me to keep living with him as long as could afford it. Well, we can't! My parents had to give me 700$ 3 weeks ago just to be able to pay my utilities this month, and my mother had to take my 10 yo back-to-school shopping. My parents have offered to let me & the boys live with them, and my ex is refusing to let us go. My 10 yo is crying, saying he wants to live with both his parents. If I stay with this man much longer I'm afraid I'll lose my mind. He's promising we can live as roommates. What do I do?

My husband won't let me move out.... my ex is refusing to let us go. ...

He can't keep you against your will. If that's what he's doing, call the police.

You are an adult. How is he stopping you from moving? If he is laying a guilt rip on you, that's your issue.

If you want to move you pick up and move. Then file for divorce.
