It sounds like you are living in a dangerous situation. Pray for the wisdom & stregnth needed to leave this situation.\n \n1) Call local Churches & Synogoues they sometimes  provide housing, cash for food, clothing & counseling support\n2) Leave with your life & your childrens lives intact.  You can replace almost everything but life & limb.\n3) Take out a life insurance and disability insurance plan that covers you & your two children\n4) Create an Advanced Directive (a living will)\nthat covers you & your two children\n5) Create a will that covers your two children\n6) Don't ever go back.  \n7) Notify a safe person (Family (even distant family) or Friend) of your status.\n\nTake it from my experience..I have had life circumstances which taught me that my life & my families lives were worth more than all of our clothing, furniture & all of our stuff collectively.  We were able to store a few things.  But we left a lot of our stuff... Hey, we are alive and we can get new stuff later.\n\nLeave, save your life and your childrens lives. By staying, you are teaching them its okay to stay with an abuser.  Do you picture your children and grandchildren living with an abuser in the house?  Get out now, while you can still leave.\nGod Bless

Dont worry - you could be thirty and living by yourself and they will still treat you like you are 12. Thats something parents do :)\nDont worry - move out when you can and move on. Love and respect your parents but sooner or later, you need to take responsibility for your life

Your kids are right now very vulnerable, and depending on you their mother, to feed them, nurture them,and love them a lot. I have seen parents mistreat their kids even in public places and it make me so mad to see them do that. Please have a little patience with them and ask God to give you, above all a lot of self control because it takes a lot to have it with two kids so near in age to each other. Good luck and may God be with you in the months and years ahead.

I am a 31 year old, who doesn't feel like she is in her 30's, yet.\nI think there is a lot of truth to Sully's answer.\nI know that you can feel like you have no life, and are tied down when you have small children.  I have 4 myself, 11-4, so I know how it is.  \nYou only feel that way, however, if you allow yourself to feel that way.  Try not to let things stress you out.  Make sure that you take time for yourself everyday, even if it is just a quiet minute with a cup of coffee, or a bubble bath after the kids are in bed.  You would be surprised how a little quiet time really make a huge difference.  Also, I think it might make you feel better if you were able to get out more.  You and your husband go out once a week without the children, get together more with friends, and exercise regularly.\n\nEnjoy your 20's, they are a great time.  =)

Well let me ask you, do you still live at home??? If so it IS their rules still. Sure you may be 18 now but like I would tell my children, "As long as you live in my house, it's MY rules". now as far as being able to do what you want and you not thinking that they let you do a lot let me say this to you, Try bringing this up at dinner, explain to them that you feel like they aren't giving you enough "distance" to do some of the things you would like to do. And ask them if they will slowly give you a chance to prove to them that you are responsible and you CAN make your own decisions on things. And explain to them that if you do anything to lose their trust then you will go back to how the situation is right now... Hope this has helped out some... let me know what happens ok... take care!!!

I can hardly imagine you having 3 kids ages under 5 and your no 4 is on the way..... I admire your capability but it seems your ability to raise them is beyond your control.  The lack of 'freedom' in your husband shows that he is still youthful and wants the best in his world. His responsibility is zero and committment to you is just for the moment of fun. I know that this harsh words maybe hurtful but just want you to wake up and stop pinning high hope to someone who do not deserve your trust and love.... release him and focus on your 4 innocent lives whom you had brought into this world. Remember, they dont deserve the pain but LOVE......

I am extremely sorry to hear your story and you have my hearfelt sympathy.  I can only imagine the deep pain of hurting you must go through everyday.  I really feel for you and I hear and support what you are saying about paying more attention to your kids and looking out for any early 'warning signs'.  I can't really advise you on anything you're asking for but I just wanted to write and wish you well, may God help you in whatever you do.

You are engaged in some kind of power struggle here. They are not kids anymore, but need their mommy? They are either spoiled rotten, or are playing games with the 2 of you. If your gf thinks this is normal, I would forget her. She obviously doesn't know when to focus on her own life. I can see them living with you when they're forty. Scary, isn't it?\nTell your gf to get her priorities straight, or she will lose you.
