writes:My husband has been burring us financially for years now. I cannot understand him at all. I gave him till Christmas and me and our children (5 and 1) are going to leave. But now I need a plan. I cannot go on with his lies and selfish behavior. But he has buried me in debt so far, I don't know where to go. I'm practically stuck. Our credit is shot, we had to file for bankruptcy, and now, when we should be getting back on out feet, he keeps empting out our bank accounts. I am not working, because he is in the army and I never know when he is going out of town, and with two small children, I want to be home. I was trying to do school full time, but practically being a single parent, I couldn't. I have told him time and time again to leave, but he won't. So I have to figure out what to do, where to go, and how to keep my family working. It seems so overwhelming. Where do I start?

I'm sorry you're in this really dreadful situatuon. First of all, make sure your family knows (if you have family around), so if worst comes to worst, they may be able to help you, even if it's just childcare while you try get onto your feet. Also, speak to a lawyer. They can provide you with all the information you will need in a situation like this. In Britain, we have something called the Citizen's advice, which is a free service for people who need help and information. I don't know if they have something like that in the US. The most important thing is that people around you know that this might happend, so can be ready, and that you seek legal help so you know you're rights and know what you're entitled to. All the best.
