I have no relatives, we met my future husband when I was working as a waitress and I had nowhere to live. He always told me that he saved me from poverty and a bad life, and that I owe him everything I have. I agree with him, he did a lot of good for me, but he also hurts me during this whole time. He says that no one needs me and that if I leave him, I will be left alone and die of hunger. This puts pressure on me, as he forced me to quit the cafe and said he would provide for me. But I feel like I’m in slavery. How to deal with it, I don't know. Sometimes he hits me, but then he apologizes. My biggest desire is to escape from him. I prepared the PA divorce forms, but he found them and tore them up, and then yelled at me. I really have nowhere else to look for support.
