I need to leave my husband. Any suggestions on how ?

You’ve raised some very serious issues here, dragongirl. Unfortunately, they are also very personal issues-maybe just a little too personal for a public message board of this nature. You’ve been given several very good suggestions about contacting local authorities and support groups that you could heed, but I feel that any further coorespondance on this issue should be carried out via private e-mail. I hope that your situation improves-if you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me at any time.
