I really want to leave but I am terrified. We have two children and I work, but don't really make enough to afford the price of living these days. I know that the law states that he will have to pay child support, but I also know that it won't happen right away. I don't have family here that I can move in with, or borrow money from. My kids have moved so many times and changed schools that I need to stay in this area. I can't ever make them change schools again. My husband is not physically abusive, but I've just come to realize that he is mentally abusive. I need to leave but have no idea where to begin. Any help would be great. ↓

Save your money until you get enough banked to get out of there. ↑

I have tried to put money aside but I can only get $20 here and there. He watches the money like a hawk. It would take years for me to save enough. I've come to realize that I won't be able to leave with money to pay my first months rent. We live in Canada and I was wondering if anyone knew of any financial services that help in these situations? ↑
