Dear Mustang Sally,

I am a social worker, and I think I have an answer for you. What your husband is doing is EMOTIONAL ABUSE. You can go to a domestic violence shelter where you can stay as they help you get on your feet so you can start a new life. These places are clean, safe and very supportive. I know; I managed one for awhile. I don’t know where you live, but you can go to http://www.superpages.com and search for domestic violence shelters. You can also try calling your local YWCA; they should know where to find one. But PLEASE do NOT tell yourself this isn’t abuse! I suspect your husband has been doing things like this for 38 years, and this might explain why you don’t see your children. And don’t threaten to leave him; just do it.

Best of luck to you!

Marlene (TheHailstorm’s wife)
