    to you, you just sound so miserable. Have you tried any charities like Salvation Army, they can help you with some accommodation so that you can leave, you can't live like this. You can do it, things can get better for you and your child. I've been in an abusive relationship too I understand how hard it is to leave. If you are an Australian Citizen you are in this country legally and he is only saying that to scare you. So sorry you are going through this.

    Regards,

    yes i am. I have tried to ask the social worker who visits me before, and she has been working for me to get through this. Its just that it is really hard to get out. As we are living with my husbands family too. Im really having a hard time.

    I am not an australian citizen yet, but my 9 weeks old son from him is.
    Thanks for ur advise. Can u tell me more of how did u make it yourself.

They can help you get temporary accommodation to leave straight away or help you get move into a house , and help with paying then rent long term as they have cheaper rental properties ... Have you spoken to centerlink?

    I was in a very abusive relationship, physically and mentally for 4yrs. He had driven all my friends away to isolate me, many times I tried to leave but still in some weird way loved him and thought I can change him but couldn't. When I actually did leave it was in desperation, I just couldn't take any more. It's hard taking that very first step but it is all so worth it for yourself and your child. If he is physically abusing you, call the police they can help you too and as Divvy said you could apply for an Intervention Order.

    Thanks very much for the advise Dianne.
    Hes not physically abusive but torturing me emotionally and mentally.
    I think theyve got history of mind disorders base on my observations, because same as his brother and father. I would really wish i have the strength to leave. I just couldnt take it, im just worried about my children spec my 9 weeks old son.
    I know it is hard, but i would really want to try.
    Thank you for at least being there by giving some advise.
    I wish we could be able to talk by messenger or chat/facebook sometime.

    I was wondering if there's a local group of migrants that can help you? Sometimes a local community centre or somewhere like that can be of assistance.
