Goldey - I am a little confused like others here. Has you H ever hit you or is it just his angry behavior you are afraid of?
Dont feel bad that you tried with the police and got nowhere. You had to try. I can understand their position if there was no physical violence that has occured. They cant really go arresting people based upon alleged fears. Please, correct me if I am wrong on that.
It seems like your next step is to file for a divorce so as to get something going legally pronto. Washington county does have free advisors to help with that if you need it. They may even have some experience with situations like yours.
As for where you can live for the time being, have you checked out The Good Neighbor Center near Washington Square?...
My daughter went there as a girl scout to deliver donations recently. One of the other girl scout mother's had lived there a bit to get back on her feet and it seemed like a safe place to help rebuild a persons life.
You are on the right path. No booze is good. And you are very emotionally stressed and vulnerable now, so staying away from single men is best also.
Maybe it is also a good time to seek out a new church. One other than where your husband attends.
