This is for a friend of mine. She is planning on leaving her abusive husband. She has 3 kids, one who is SN and takes a lot to care for. She doesn not work (was not allowed to). Her husband moved her states away from any friends and family. He wanted to move her even further, but she said no and said she would not go with him. He threatened to call CPS on her and tell them she has a mental illness and her kids are in danger and he will make sure to make her life a living hell, among various other threats. She has nothing in her name. No access to money or help. So what can she do?

Call her family, friends, and ya'll show up en masse at the door and help her pack and leave. Call the cops and tell them she needs an police escort to leave an abusive spouse. If he blows up while the cops are there, so much the better for her. If he does, she needs to press charges. She goes to live with her parents and file for divorce and custody there. If she has any documentation of the abuse she needs to show that to the lawyer.

She should call CPS to get the kids out of the shitty situation and get as much help from them as she can.

I can try to contact her family. Her mother passed years ago and her father is in hospice care and doesnt have long. This was the event that set everything in motion for her. He wont allow her to see her father. He keeps saying he will take her when he can, but kept making excuses. Then said they are moving and she wouldnt get to see him at all now that she pissed him off.

She told me he has only physically abused her a handful of times, but he financially, mentally and psychologically abuses her. She is not allowed to even go to that bathroom on her own. He developed a plan when she is allowed to go to the bathroom or when she is allowed to shower. She has had no access to money, and can not leave the house without his permission. He has recently changed her to a vegan diet against her wishes. But there is not much proof when it comes to abuse Im afraid. There is no physical evidence. Im not sure how she would prove the other stuff. I do plan on going down to help her get out though. And she does have 2 other siblings I plan on contacting. She doesnt think they will help, but I think she under estimates family for things like these. They were not happy when she decided to stay with her husband and move away in the first place. But I think if she was willing to leave and needs help they would help in any way they can.

She can call the police and tell them she needs help getting away from him too. But to be honest, if you guys just show up and suprise him with the cops, that will take the wind out of his sails. How old are the kids?

No matter where she is there is a woman's shelter that will help her. She needs to call them. Or better yet just get in her car and drive to family. Maybe you could help her out with some gas/food cash
