Dear God,

I don’t know who my husband is anymore.  I loved him with all my heart and couldn’t wait to start a family with him.  Now he has become a different man than the one I married and is now emotionally abusive.  He is condescending and I walk on eggshells and get nervous when he comes home.  I want to leave to build a stable life for my precious little girl, but he threatens to take her from me if I leave as part of his manipulation of my spirit and soul.  Please give me a path and guidance should I be able to leave, or strength to deal with his rage if I am unable to leave out of fear for my daughter’s well-being.
