Q&A: I need to leave my husband but I have no job or money of my own. What can I do?

Question by Miss Informed: I need to leave my husband but I have no job or money of my own. What can I do?
My husband is an alcoholic who refuses treatment. He’s in the military but they don’t know of his problems yet. He’s gotten physical with me, and has shoved me down when I confronted him about drinking, and regularly gets in my face or throws things when angry. We have 2 kids under the age of 4. My husband is an officer in the Air Force, and we live in base housing. We’ve done counseling and he refuses to believe anything they say and says they’re targeting him and make him feel “evil”. I left a while back, but came back when he promised he’d go to counseling and stop drinking. I don’t want to leave without my kids’ beds and some furniture again, because this time will be for good. I have family who lives in South Carolina near Charleston, and I’d like to move to that area, but I know I can’t afford it. I’m afraid he’ll refuse to help out. I don’t have a job or a college education because we had decided I would stay home with the kids until they were in school before pursuing my education and career. Do I have any legal rights?

What am I entitled to take with me when I leave abusive husband?

Question by Veronique: What am I entitled to take with me when I leave abusive husband?
I am going to leave my abusive husband of 8 years( together for 12) by this weekend. I know that it’s now or never. I want to take some things with me like my kid’s bed and dressers, our clothes, washing machine and big screen tv. I was going to leave the livingroom furniture, deep freezer and all of his collectibles( sports figurines, cars etc). We live in Michigan. I’m just wondering should I just take what I can and get the hell out of dodge or what? I’m also considering a personal protection order. I am really nervous as I don’t have a job right now. My kids and I are going over to my mom’s to live while I get on my feet. My mom is great and says she’ll provide for us while I get on my feet.I am not a deadbeat, I worked and paid bills ( even though he ‘s told everyone that I didn’t do shit but lay on my ass which is a total lie). I was laid off. I’m wondering what I may be entiltled to take with me? Our house is in foreclosure so that’s not an option to stay anyway & I fear him.

Take what you purchased yourself, or what he doesn’t want.

Most of all, you’re taking something no one can take away from you — your dignity!
