I want to leave my husband and am so afraid. He is a district attorney in our county and will go crazy with anger if/when I leave. We have 3 small children who have witnessed some of their daddy's abuse. He is extremely jealous and constantly tells me he loves me, yet at the drop of a hat will slap me, pull my hair, hit me ( always in place where my bruises are hidden by clothing. He has several guns and has held them to my head. He says since I'm his wife, he is entitled to sex whenever he wants it. I'm not allowed to say no. He has never hurt our children and has always been loving, even gentle with them. His job is stressful and I try to keep things on an even keel when he's at home, but he still will fly off the handle at the drop of a hat. I dropped out of college when we married and had our first child 10 months later. and am worried about finding employment to support myself and children. I know I am entitled to child support, but need income from a job too. Nobody knows the severity of his abuse and my family have encouraged me to stay when I tried to talk to them. Since I have no visible "wounds", they think I'm exaggerating. I am so sad, afraid, and so, so alone in this.
