CrystalBlue - I know it won't be a LOT of money but could you sell rather than donate some of that stuff? eBay or Craigslist or something? Might be tough to do when you're being watched so closely but it would be great if you can get at least a small stash of money saved up. As Ellie said though - don't worry so much about taking "stuff" or waiting too long just to get money saved. If you can, great, if you can't, just get OUT before you or the kids get hurt further. Don't change your behavior beforehand though.
One other thought about the shelter - call from a pay phone while you're out grocery shopping. You do NOT need his family overhearing any part of that conversation.

What about a dr.s appt.. for either the kids or you?? You could say your taking them and that may bide you some time
Great idea! Or, what about annual dental cleanings for you and the kids? It takes awhile to get through all three, and maybe he'd even give you some money to pay the dentist?? Oh, and I'd actually MAKE the dental appointments too. Let the family overhear that call... and then if your H calls to "check up" on you, the appointments will be legit.
Yes MAKE SURE you're deleting the history and cookies for this site, and visiting others to keep it from being blank.
I know there's a file called index.dat that stays on your system even when you delete history - does anyone know more about how to clean THAT file as well? I remember doing it a long time ago when I donated a computer but I can't find anything on it now.
