What should a woman in her 60s do if she wants to leave her verbally abusive husband but is afraid of losing the financial security?

Here is some input: * Money has nothing to do with love. There are many stories of women married to rich men who are unhappy and leave them for a poor guy because she fell in love. It isn't wise financially, but in your sixties she is probably thinking she wants to live out her life in happiness not wealth. * I am 34 and I kicked him out. I had NOTHING but a dumpy place to live, our beautiful daughter, who is the most important. He used to threaten me to leave me broke, well we aleady were broke as he would not give me any money and I was a student in university. This was two years ago. One day I looked at him and told him I don't care how I survive but get out. I am a lot stronger as a result. I would much rather be happy and have peace than steak dinners and heartache. Rethink your situation. You are in your 60s but that is still young. There are still tons of men out there in your age bracket when you are ready to date again. Don't let money keep you there. Talk to a lawyer if you have legal aid in your area. My divorce did not cost me a cent as I went through legal aid. They help you find a lawyer. Money isn't love. You have one life and deserve LOVE. If he has been abusive or unfaithful, the courts will take care of you financially. Don't wait. What are you going to do? Leave him "LATER?" All you'll be is betrayed and two years older. I'm 65 so I know where you are coming from. It isn't easy to give up on your marriage and start over again at that age, and if you aren't working then trying to find employment is more difficult, but it can be done. My aunt left her husband when she was 63 and is remarried. Miracles never cease! LOL The poster that mentioned Legal Aid gave you some good advice. In Canada women are entitled to half of everything their partner has and that includes the home, vehicles (if there are two one has to go to the wife), RRSPs (for retirement) RIF (bonds for retirees), property investments, etc. I would however suggest that if your husband is extremely verbally abusive and even raises a fist to you (without hitting you) that you call the police and because this is on a report and will help you further when you see the lawyer. Good luck & God Bless (you can do it!)

How can you make someone understand that just because she thinks she knows how to handle her husband's verbally abusive comments doesn't mean that she is not in a verbally abusive relationship?
Until she is willing to realize that she is verbally abused, there is nothing you can do. She may well have most of it under control, and, there is the possibility that her mate may not be well. Sometimes medications or certain diseases such as stroke, diabetes, depression, etc., can cause people to appear abusive. You're a good person to worry about her, but don't fight her, try to learn from her and where SHE is coming from. Let her know you are there for her. You'll gain more from her this way, then by telling her how she should act on this problem. Good luck Marcy
