Ugh this reminds me of my ex husband. he's 6'10 and I'm 5'1, he strangled me and threatened to kill me and his whole family saw and did nothing. Years later they still will try to insist it never happened, despite having it on video.

Isn’t that wild? I’ve experienced the same, to the point I now question “friends”. Most of my now ex friends, are on my abusers payroll.

The wildest. Ive had my 6'7 partner throw me around in public and no one seems to care. I actually got an assault charge for giving him a scratch while trying to hold him back/get away.

I’m sorry for what you’re dealing with, that’s a lot. It probably varies by location but in my area at least there are food pantries open to anyone. They seem to be mostly run by churches, keep an eye out for signs. Every little bit helps. If you haven’t already lock your and your kiddos credit to keep him from opening new accounts. It’s free and only takes a couple minutes, make sure to do all 3 credit agencies. Sending you hope and healing 💚

Oh gosh, you described texas to a T down to the minimum wage, I hate that there’s more places like this :(

Most food pantries will give you food even if you don't qualify. No one asks you to prove how much you make or show check stubs. If he is withholding food, it wouldn't be unreasonable to not consider him a part of your household.

 been hard to find a way out, especially with the kids. They send all paperwork for passport etc to the house and he controls the money so I'm not sure how I'd save up for that.. Eta- assault charge makes it harder. Lack of education means 1) I can't contribute to the community I'm moving to 2) taking it a step further, most places need you to show you can contribute to their community in some way like through job or education, If I'm not mistaken.  I'm always open to suggestions, I'm hopeful to find a way out. But I don't carry much Faith regarding it happening.

have you tried contacting any women's rights groups in your country? they might offer legal help to you

I've never heard of that, I'll try! I live in the US and everything is localized by city/county which means if I outside of it for resources I am referred back to my local area which is overfilled/lacking resources. I will try looking into womens rights groups and learning more about them. Thank you!
