Re: I want to leave my mentally and physically abusive husband but I have zero support
Report your passport as stolen and get a new one sent to your parents’ address.
Don’t kill you self because your a a VALUED, lovely woman. Don’t let the abusive loser you’re currently married take your life. Go ahead with the divorce process. Your parents are guided by tradition and religion, not by logic and reason ie-That you’re being very abused by this man. You are not a slave. Not worthless. Not powerless. You are a grown woman who can make her own choices and decisions. Try to keep away from him and his toxic family as much as you can.
Here is an article I found online - I think it may be for you local area???
