    Hi Cazzes

    First of all well done reaching out 

    It takes courage when you are living with a partner who is being abusive towards you.

    You are deserving of better 

    Second contact Macmillian support line or CRuK they are good at this sort of thing 

    Obviously from a safe place / phone if your husband is controlling that ?

    Tell them the truth of the situation 

    Also your local area should have a womens helpline Womens aid can help( has the moderator said)

    Or your local Mind can support you too 

    and if you feel in immediate danger leave

    Or call 999

    Your husband is not the most important person You Are

    Sending woman power .RB
