I wish I knew something that could help you! I think with the physical abuse, we are "allowed" to support the decision you've made! I sure hope so, or I won't be long for this board! Anyone who knows me knows that I have spent plenty of time trying to slow people down, and encouraging patience, so I think I'm ok!

I know Amy isn't in your state, but she always seems to have ideas about where to look for help. I would imagine that there must be an organization that would support women in your situation. Might be a time to start with the church, or a shelter. Or perhaps even ask a lawyer, they ought to know!
