My surviving domestic violence story is a twenty year journey that taught me who I am at my core, strengthened my faith, and helped form the strong person I am today. My husband could never become a good son,husband nor a good father. From day 15th of our marriage he started hitting me badly .Bashed both my eyes so badly that I am undergoing serious issues due to this. He has always been over possesive and suspecious and thought that I was his possesion. I have two sons and i went through all this trauma only on the hope that things will be fine one day.But nothing improved. He ill treated my elder son too as he was not upto his expectations. He never earned a regular income. It was always game of up and downs financially too.We stayed at my fathers home for about 14 years ..paid rent occasionally. I have been working for 13 years and somehow we managed to purchase a flat . I am the co owner in the flat.I have now separated from him because as always he threw me out of the house and this time I decided will never return back as along with me he also asked his old parents to leave the home at midnight . It was like an awakening for me from deep sleep. I saw my future and lost all the respect for him along with this he also is having an affair with a girl for the past 4 years . Our divorce case is in the court. My husband is not even helping out the kids school fees. He earns well in real estate business now but gets all money in black hence i cannot prove his income. He does not want to give my share of the flat ever. He keeps threatning to kill me or handicap me . He said this to my advocate and the family court councellor too. He is just not letting me live in peace and roams around telling everybody that I am characterless but still in the court says that he does not want a divorce.I cannot stay with him.He is also a s** maniac .He does not let me work in peace nor does he takes care of the kids. He wants alimony from me as I am working in a BPO. He asks me to join some s** clubs and stuff. Is death the only resolution for me? Please help!!!!
