Where to get support?

I need help, have no family here, only one close friend. My insurance doesn't cover therapy enough for me to afford it and my income level is just high enough I don't qualify for help. I'm separated and am receiving no child support and I need to seek help and treatement for the verbal and beginning stages of physical abuse I'm facing.

Does anyone have any suggestions, I can feel myself slipping into depression, I've been there before and I know what it feels like. I need to find a way (thru therapy I think) to get out of this relationship. Obviously I'm not a strong enough person to do it on my own, my self esteem has been crushed by this man as far as feeling like I can do it on my own.

Its comforting to know there are others out there like me, that its not just my imagination, or me being too sensitive... all the things he trys to make me believe.... but I so need help dealing with this!

What man?

You have to pay for therapy?.

Jamie, what's that supposed to mean? Unpaid therapy probably wouldn't be worth much anyhow. Well, on the other hand, paid therapy probably isn't worth much either...

It dosent mean anything.

In canada we dont have to pay for $#%^. All of that plus health care are covered.

I wasnt aware you had to pay for that.

I'm suprised you couldnt manage to connect those dot's.

The "man" I'm referring to is my husband. And yes therapy costs money as far as I know. I've been before with different insurance and when we were living together so I could afford it the part insurance didn't pay. I'm barely making ends meet now with no child support and I need help desperately. I did have a decent therapist but I still owe him money and now insurance doesn't hardly pay any at all so I don't know what to do.

I see that innit4fun (Bev) is asking a clear question here "where to get support?"

I'm separated and am receiving no child support and I need to seek help and treatement for the verbal and beginning stages of physical abuse I'm facing.

It's clear she is referring to her husband because she says she's separated. I wouldn't consider the sarcasm both verty and JamieJ23 showed here in their replies as support .

My sarcasm was directed at verty for his ability to state the blatently obvious. And even that was is a joking mannor.

For inni4fun if you have to pay for support and cannot afford it, find it by other means, friends, on this site ect.

If your in an abusive relationship then your probably smart enough to know you should leave. I believe there are places that take in abused women and there children....they help you out. A therapist will tell you the same thing. When your in an abusive relationship the enevitable end result is you will die. And its best to end that relationship before it gets out of hand.

See bigdeal....supportive

Hi Bev,

It depends where you live.... I'm sure there are groups you can attend that wont cost much or even it may be free?
There are numbers you can usually phone for help in your local phonebook.

Even picking up a book on verbal abuse and how to heal from it can be helpful. It's hard to deal with this kind of abuse, it lowers your self esteem and self confidence, been there, felt the affects of it.

PM me any time hon.

You need to get out of your situation sweetie....

Can you friend help you to get away?

Jamie where we live yes we have free health care, we're lucky, pretty much anywhere else it isn't free and costs alot to get into therapy.
