Abella agony auntTry not to put it off any longer. Your children need sanctury. even if the first shelter you go to is not idea it is a start. But while you are so utterly unsupported at home this is not acceptable for you nor for your children. Your man is a loser. You will not make him better by staying there. His humilation has gone too far already. Get your things together. Contact the shelter and Get yourself and your children to the shelter where they will have warm beds, enough diapers and you will get the support you so desperately need. Your children are sacred and should not be put into a position where they must be over-whelmed and terrified about what is happening. You do yourself no favors to stay one more minute in this shambolic unsupported situtation.

Allow your children (and you) to sleep easy and comfortably in a safe environment by making your way to the shelter now. You need it. Your children need it. And your EX does not respect you any more and will obviously not support you while you stay there being humilated.

Please do what is right for you and your children.

Tisha-1 agony auntI'm sorry that you are in this situation. It sounds as though there are services available to you, if you are willing to go. If you have no money and nowhere to stay and 5 children to feed, but he has a place to stay and money, then clearly you ARE a battered wife. Go to the shelter and make that police report. He has abandoned you and needs to be held legally accountable.

Sorry it may be uncomfortable at the shelter but walking in the rain with 5 children to find cans to redeem isn't comfortable or safe either. Keep trying to find a shelter that will work for you; I don't think you have any other options if you have no friends and your family refuses to help you.

Stay brave.

ocean425 agony auntthannk you Tisha-1 it means a lot that you responded back and for the links and advice and as well to everyone else

let me apologize for not making sense when i posted or the spelling was just shaking and crying so much i might be able to go to a shelter but i dont want my kids to go through that im ca and anyhow this shelter you have to make police report and be battered so i cant go.

anyhow not that many resources here there is a another place where its first come first serve but i wont dare take my kids there, not my baby girls its located right in the niddle were all the prostitutes and drug dealers are there, and homeless. so i just cant. times like this i wish to god i had one friend i honestly dont have one friend when i met him he made me stop talking to them i was 14 when we met he was 17 so i have never went out with friends never finished school.

I have worked 3 times my whole life but he used to keep all the money

im stupid i should have known better all i have is 3 brothers and they wont speak to me. i told them and asked if i can stay with them or if they can loan me anythinh and they said no. that not to ever be bothering them again, to pretend they are dead.

that hurt im losing it more now i have no one not one cent in pocket nothing my brothers hate me for the fact that i was with him and that i keot my kids they wanted me to have abortion but i couldnt and im glad i didnt i love my kids with all my heart and soul.

i tried posting on online asking if anyone has any work for me anything at all im willing to take it i will clean up after your dogs. i dont care i just need help to go but all i got was cruel emails that it my fault, that i should have kept my legs closed.

so another thing to stress and hurt over honestly i dont know what to do my babys needed pampers i asked him and he said no i had to walk with my 5 kids in cold trash can to trash can to get cans to buy one pack of diapers to fit all 3 for my 3 year old since she just turned 3 she toilet traing and for my 2 year old and 8 month old to share.

im to the point that im going to give up if i cant find one person to help me to ne there for me i feel so alone i feel like im drowning screaming for help and no one can hear me but everyone can see me if it makes sense :( and to make things worse i caight him tonite watching video of him and that girl doing somthing if you now what i mean then he called her telling her to go by when im asleep i hate him.

he says im crazy and shouldnt trip that i was seeing things to go get help cuz im crazy, like my mom was when she was alive.

I need help.

ocean425 agony auntthank you everyone for you support and advice im so sorry i havent had chance to get back on ive been lost havent slept havent eaten im lost and things have just gotten worser i find out that the girl in video that he cheated on me is a girl that i had met years ago her husband was my husbands best friend.

She knew we were together i confronted her by text and she told me that he showed her private things that we had done together he told her personal things about me that are embarresing and were personal she was laughing at me.

i felt so angry that i wanted to hurt her but i didnt. of course not. i have to think about my kids. im just so shocked that the man i have been with for 16 years could betray me.

the man who was there for me when my mom recently passed could do this to me and i had video hidden and he took it. he found it. i just cant get that image out of my head the things he did to her, said to her, was what we share and to know he could do that share that with someoneelse hurts my heartd. feels like when my mom passed that again you feel that feeling of being so sad.

i have no family i speak to no friends to talk to.

He was my life him and my kids and im havimg panic attacks. i dont know what to do i want to leave him, but i have no money, nothing in my name.

I can't een go to a hotel for a day. if i had i would go in a heart beat because here i feel lost.

but anyhow thanks to everyone and for one of the responses we have been intimate. so it cant be that. he is self concious, he is just low.

They were making fun of me while they were having sex. For the fact that i was asleep next door - I just cant get that image of him with her.

Whats so disgusting is that he didnt use protection thats sick. But with me he always wants to. im glad i did now. but i feel so sad about this.

i had someone to count on. we are not married we have just been togeather 16 years.

i call him my husband for the fact that we have 5 kids together.

its strange to me to say bf after so many years together, so if i leave i get nothing, no car nothing.

I dont have bank account credit cards. he has that, every thing, the most

i would ever have was 5 dollars i dont know what to do.

Sorry to cut it short

Thank you

Tisha-1 agony auntIt sounds like you are in an abusive relationship with a guy who happens to have cancer. You've been 'thrown out' of the house you lived in with him? And are now struggling on your own to raise 5 children and try to help him?

Not to say this is the case but perhaps the cancer has metastasized to his brain and that's why he's such a sh#t. Or maybe his coping skills are so poor he is acting like this.

Trying to figure out WHY he's doing it isn't as important as figuring out how to take care of YOURSELF and your children.

I would take a look at this website and see if you can find local help for you and your children: http://www.thehotline.org/is-this-abuse/am-i-being-abused-2/

Start planning to protect yourself and stop taking his abuse for now, okay? Good luck to you.

A female reader, aunt honesty Ireland +, writes (23 September 2011):

aunt honesty agony auntI am sorry to hear that your husband has cancer really I am, but this does not give him a get out of jail free card. He has done the crime and now he needs to pay. Having cancer does not give him an excuse to abuse you and cheat on you. You need to confront him and tell him what you have discovered. He has showing no respect for you or your children and am sorry but he cant be that ill if he is able to perform physically.

Obviously it is hard on him being ill but it is also hard for everyone else that is involved, you, his children, his mother. He is behaving very selfishly. You need to confront him and ask him to explain. Tell him you are leaving him and see what he has to say to that. Don't worry sweetie I know that it is heartbreaking right now but I promise it will get better in time. You still have your children and you can move on from this. This can make you stronger in time. But he is no good for you. Show him that he cannot walk all over you by telling him that it is over. Good Luck.

dougbcoll agony aunti am sorry you are going through this.having sex with a prostitute and you being next door worrying about him ,and taking care of the kids . it,s not right,but i am trying to put myself in maybe his mind set. maybe he is worried about being able to preform (get an erection) after having testicular cancer , maybe he,s worried or afraid of letting his own ego down , and disappointing you. maybe in his mind if he went and got a stranger for sex, he might have been thinking he would test things out. you need to confront him and ask him why he did this, it,s not right to you. no matter how you look at he has cheated on you, while you have been caring for the kid,s and worrying about him. you need to confront him and do it when you are not angry or letting

A female reader, anonymous, writes (23 September 2011):

You should really think about getting a lawyer and divorcing him. I strongly recommend not telling him what you know. Or if you have already I surely hope you still have the tape. Don't lose that tape. Give it to someone you can really trust and then let him look for it until he's blue in the face. He may have cancer but he's obviously not that sick. Just sick in the head. If I were you, I would keep quiet about what I knew. Then secretly talk to a divorce lawyer and prepare to slam his ass in court with everything I got, all before he even knew what the hell was happening to him. I normally wouldn't advise you to be so harsh and drastic but he's been treating you like shit on top of being a slumming dog. He has sbsolutely any respect for you. You sound like a sweet person and loyal and he just plain and simply doesn't deserve someone like you. He deserves the chick he has to bribe to sleep with in his mothers living room. Good luck and I'm very sorry you're going through this awful experience.
