As for my friend who did help me, she told her dad about what happened and he told her to never let me stay at the house that he bought for her since my husband could go after her. I was upset to hear that, but I respected her decision and we're still friends.

And I did call a domestic violence hot line before, but all the rooms were booked! I'd go to a hotel if I had the money to afford a cheap one. The only option would be for me to take my car and go somewhere quiet to sleep if this happens again. Of course I'd only do that sober! I just slept in the other room last night.
