Broken,

Where in Australia do you live? What city? There are many resources available to you in the cities of Australia and we would be happy to help you find them.

Would you like to have a job? Your husband is not your father, broken. He doesn't get to tell you what you must do. If the two of you decide together that you will stay home, that's one thing, but staying home just because he doesn't want you to work isn't helping you.

Do you want out, if there was a way? Or would you rather the marriage work?

Are you interested in studying? Is there a topic that interests you if you could go to college?

Are you interested in volunteering?

I'm so sorry that you were abused as a child. That has affected you in so many ways, Broken. But you are an adult now and you have the ability to start fixing things for yourself. You don't have to be a victim in this too. Taking a little step like enrolling in a class or volunteering at an animal rescue center will help you make friends and feel useful. It will also help you feel less needy where your husband is concerned.

Is any of this a possibility? And do tell us where you live in Australia.
