I am in what I have discovered threw the last year of therapy is an extremely abusive/controlling relationship.

My wife uses threats, blackmail, coercion, and intimidation to control me, get her way, or force me to stay.

Especially in this current pandemic, I feel like I have no options.

I also feel trapped because I still (maybe stupidly) love her, and I feel responsible for her, as I am the sole income in the family.

​

I have looked for domestic violence shelters that accept men in my area and have found none.

Does anyone have any advice or suggestions of how to either get my wife to recognize and repent from her abuse, or to leave safely?
