So darn angry

I've been married for 27 years, have 3 beautiful adult children and I'm miserable. My husband is a huge control freak, he's self centered and selfish. I've worked part time over the years and dealt with his bull**** because I wanted to be home with the kids. When I think back of all he's done, I just hate him. At one point I was working and all of my money deposited into our account he would put in the money market so I couldn't get to it. I finally opened my own account so I had all of the my money, which wasn't much. I left the $50,000 money market in the other account. So fast forward, I was furloughed last year, had a hard time paying my bills and he knew it, he never helped at all. He pays for the house bills but would never buy groceries or anything else. I am finally working full time but I just can't seem to catch up. We only get groceries when I get paid. I have my own health insurance, car insurance and pay for my own car. He won't leave me because he doesn't want to have to give me anything. How do I break free? My daughters are very supportive towards me, they know he's terrible. Will I get part of the house, his retirement, or anything? I have no savings, but he does. He watches us go around with no money and goes out to the casino on Fridays spending over $500 while there. I just don't want to leave and have no way of getting a home for my kids, due to owing on my car and credit cards. Please any advise.

Re: So darn angry

Consulting a divorce lawyer is very expensive so I went about going through an agency that files the divorce papers for you. They know so much about divorce that sometimes they are able to give you some advice. Though, they won’t assume responsibility since they are not lawyers.
