Question:

My 80% combat vet, who I am still married to after 10 years... Has been abusing me for many years and I never turned him in... I now asked for a divorce and now I am homeless and he took my children. He won't even give me a dollar and I cannot afford a lawyer... In fact, I have PTSD from all the years of abuse as well as I am not physically disabled because of him.....We have a TSP, he closed all my banks, he cut me off and he also moved his money... He still claims me as a dependent. I took all the debt and now have to file bankrupcty, while he is living in our home with our children...I was a stay at home mom for 10 years!! How is this ok?

It's not OK. I'd like you to call the National Domestic Violence Hotline 1-800-799-7233 . They'll be able to point you in the right direction.
