I am married and have a child.
My wife has always been VERY abrupt and "bitchy" at times but this has become a million times worse since our son was born.
He is now 8 months old and on almost a daily basis I am being yelled at, insulted, and on some cases physically abused. Today I had enough and called the cops after she had made a number of threats towards me.
Heres the thing - im living in Houston Texas, but am from Australia. I do have a green card, neither of us has a job or much money. We are living at her Nan's place rent free.
Thing is im now expecting to be kicked out of the house tomorrow (the police told my wife to sleep at her mums place tonight and for me to stay here). I do have a few friends in town but none hugely close. Since I have no job, no money, I can't hire a lawyer let alone a room to sleep in or food.
And this is Texas - so even though she is the abusive one, im worried i'l never see my son again.
Can anyone please help? Even if you just know where a lawyer or counselor who deals with this stuff and might be able to help is? I don't want to loose my son.
