You are very welcome. You are safe here. No one will know you are sharing as it is anonymous to both the public and ourselves. Much love!

i have been in a marriage for 5 years, the first year was fine, then it started changing, he became verbally very abusive almost as though it was in cycles, he would without warning change from friendly to aggressive telling me repeatedly to f off and then not talk to me for days, then it would change back to happy happy, it has got worse, with him telling me am a slut, I am lazy, I am filthy house wife, he tolled me e that he wishes I would get raped then I would know what it is all about, he accused me off overspending our money, then he kept on asking for bank statement of the little we had, and eventually I became angry and told him to take over the shopping, that is when he told me that if I dont back off he would hit me so hard I would not wake up for a few days, then i asked him if he wanted me to leave and he said yes go just go, I packed and put my stuff into the back of my old landy, but could not leave as he had removed the battery, he told me I could walk, I had to walk up a road that was extreamely busy to get to my son, the next day the police assisted me in removing my property from my vehicle, he said that someone had come onto the property at night and removed the battrey he had replaced, this was strange as I had locked the vehicle and there was no forced entry, also the wheel nuts had been removed I had no other alernative but to move to my daughter in Alberton, now he has phoned to tell me that if I am not coming back I must remove my vehicle and goods otherwise he will dispose of everything,, this is just a brief breakdown of the five years, He is turning 74 and I am 71, I dont know how to go back to white river to take my stuff or divorce him as financially I am severely limited, and my children have done so much for me but they too dont have the finances, divorces is so expensive, I would really appreciate any advice he also has a small revolver that is not licenced and has on one or two occasions said he could eaesly shoot me, thank you for allowing me to share with you
