I understand. There are no easy solutions here. I'd still suggest one thing: Discreetly seek legal advice. From what I've learned of civil law in college, though I am by no means an expert, your husband would still be forced to financially support you and your daughters if you divorced him, and it wouldn't be a pittance - In legal terms, he'd have to give you enough money to keep you living 'in the manner and quality of life to which you had become accustomed' when living with him. I may be wrong on this, but I think it's worth a look. The Police, I think, if you decide to take that step, should also be asked to investigate his other marriage. As a student in the Police Foundations program, I know they take such matters seriously, and I'm fairly confident in their ability to produce results. You're a prisoner in your own home, Lynn. He's a scumbag. The way out will be difficult to find, but there WILL be a way out, and one that will see your daughters AND you living happily and well. If there is justice, it'll also see him criminally convicted.
Thanks for this!
