Red Rose,
I can so identify with what you're going thru. No family help, no money, no job, and a domineering partner ( husband, in my case), who said if I tried to leave I'd be "out on the street with nothing," and he'd take our child away from me. I was so browbeaten, I believed it and stayed for 20 years. In retrospect, I do believe I would have had some legal rights and I should have consulted an attorney. I do not know if you have children, or are married to this man. If you do, please consider others' advice here and consult an attorney.
