Hi Tina,

Get out! Get out! Get out!.......I didn't have any money either but I am living with my parents now and going to school. I had to stay 2 months at a domestic violence shelter before the courts allowed me to leave the state..........I don't think all Turkish men are like that but abusive men come from all cultures, social-economic-status, religions, and educational backgrounds. I was married to my ex-Turkish husband for 5 years we had one child together. Don't have a child with him and it'll be easier for you to never see him again.........

Read this book if you think you might be in an abusive relationsip "Why Does He Do That?" by Lundy Bancroft.

-God Bless
