Stoic,

Thanks for stopping by on R's thread again. Also, thanks for your thorough response to her.

R, Stoic is right about everything.

The major concern here is that you feel so stuck right now. You cannot leave or ask H to leave due to family pressure and the social norms of the culture you live in it seems. Also, the financial aspect. So not, sure what kind of support you would want from us at this point.

Let us know how you are doing today and you know that if you need emotional support, we're here for you. Unfortunately, living in different countries, it's impossible to offer anything else other than that. In the U.S., not too long ago, I helped rescue a domestic help from a abusive, neglectful and slavery-type situation with the help of a local agency and a good samaritan lawyer. I'm at a loss on how else to support you... But hang in there and you're a good person and you do not, I repeat, do not deserve the treatment your H is meting out to you. Violence is wrong. Plain and simple!
