I wish that I could think of a realistic resolution for you, sweetandsour. It is just SOOO unfair that you're stuck in a miserable relationship despite your husband's poor treatment and misbehavior. I wish that societies like these didn't still exist in our world.

I agree with Lee's post to you wholeheartedly.

Is there a possibility that you can save some money out of each paycheck for yourself and your child? Perhaps hide it in a safe & special spot? And after you've saved a decent amount, maybe that would give you more options on getting away from your husband. Just a thought... If your family and community can't or won't support you leaving your husband, you're going to need to plan ahead so you and your child won't be in a bad position if you do decide to leave him.

You're in my thoughts. Very best wishes to you!!
