I'm living with a man who is emotionally and financially abusive. In the past he has hurt me physically but hasn't for quite some time.
I have been dying to get away from him for a while now, but we have always fallen back into our routine due to financial issues and me and my children not having anywhere else to go and not wanting to spend months in different shelters.

I'm finally working, being financially independent and he's sucking me dry. Won't pay bills or rent, but spends all of his money on hobbies or food and let's me take the responsibility.
After him getting drunk and out of control 2 weeks ago, I ended up having to call the police. They came but I was so distraught and scared that I didn't say anything about the abuse.

Now, I received a voicemail from victim services and realize this could be my way out. They want to hear from me to check up on how I'm doing.
Why am I so scared to make the call? I'm worried that if I do and tell her the situation that he will be arrested and charged.

I know I need to be away from this man... he is ruining my life and making me so unhappy.. I'm just afraid of all the things that will come after him leaving.

I don't really know what I'm asking here, I just need to get this off my chest.
I know it's wrong what he's doing to me, but I also worry that it's wrong of me to leave
