I cannot believe you wrote this in August and got no replies. That must have hurt. What about a spouse abuse center in your area? Where I used to live they took in families who were abused by their spouses. I think they were able to stay three months. They provided counseling for the kids and the mom's and also support groups with other moms.They found them housing, went to court with them, got restraining orders, gave them an attorney,helped them with food and furniture for a new place. If the spouse is indeed in danger they can even move the family to some place safer.
I not only went to support groups there, but they helped me find an apartment, and furniture even though I was f.t. employed. When I got on my feet I went to work for them as the nite manager three nites a week as well as keeping my f.t. job. I was able to take my daughter with me to work as I worked all nite. They were wonderful people and helped so many people.
You might want to go on-line and see what is available. They are confidential, and will not reveal where you are to anyone. It is never disclosed where the shelter is so you won't be scared of any husband finding you. Its safe!

You cannot go on like this without more help
