You do not have to leave with nothing. I know you probably can't do much while living with the abuser, but get a lawyer. The lawyer will file for a divorce and you are entitled to 1/2 of everything! Go for it! Also, you can go to an Abused Women's Center now, no matter how much money you make, and they will protect you, help you in court, but depending on how much money you make your benefits will be calculated according to the amount of money you bring in. Good luck Marcy

None that they wouldn't otherwise have.Added: There are no programs that especially grant assistance to the families of prisoners.

It is no different than the relationship between straight parents and their children.
I understand your frustration and fears about raising another child. I certainly can't tell you what to do, but I can tell you what I did when I had an unplanned child: I kept him and, despite financial difficulties, have never regretted it for a second. I can't imagine life without him (he's 13 now). The question you might ask yourself is this: Is financial security a higher priority than raising this child myself? (Okay, some may think that is harsh and will say it is actually a selfless decision to give up a child to a family who could probably provide better financially, but this is my opinion nonetheless.) And don't forget about the option of financial assistance available to low income parents. If you live in the U.S., you may qualify for W.I.C. assistance for formula and food for the child until he's 5. And then there's foodstamps and other government assistance.
