writes:I have two children, 6 and 8- my 6 year old has autism. My husband has been battling alcoholism for years. He just informed me he has been seeing another woman and left. He has treated me especially poorly over the years and very much so now. I filed for divorce the other day and today he called and told me he is out of work- indefinately. I have been a stay at home mom for nine years and am very much needed by my son with autism. Now I am not sure if I can get the divorce because I can't pay for it- he told me to stop making payments on the house too. I am the caretaker of these kids- he isn't interested in their needs, just wants to be the disney land dad- what am I to do now? My friends say this man has emotionally abused me for years.

 I'm sure that (hopefully) there are resources out there. You just have to find them. Look online. Get a special babysitter. Get a job, etc. I know it's not going to be easy, and I probably come off like it is going to be easy, but I'm not in your shoes, so I wouldn't know. You didn't give any examples of things he's said to you or done to you, just that he was an alcoholic. Get your own account, get a cheap special sitter, get a job, save money, and hopefully you can get that divorce/or another place to live.
