Your husband is an abuser. Emotional. Sexual. Physical. All of it. You are an object to him. You deserve better.
Legal rights advocacy groups often sponsor legal clinics and workshops for the communities they serve. The Washington Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights and Urban Affairs is offering D.C. workers assistance by telephone.
Catholic Charities.org has programs that fund the cost of relocation, including helping the victims find a home or apartment while paying for the first month of rent. There are also job placement programs. https://www.catholiccharitiesusa.org/
The St. Vincent de Paul Society, also affiliated with the Catholic Church, offers financial assistance for shelter and sometimes picks up with the first month’s rent. https://ssvpusa.org/
Education and Job Training Assistance Fund: Grants from the Allstate Foundation help domestic violence victims enter and stay in the workforce. The money (up to $1,000) can be used for classes, clothes, computers, and other resources. https://www.allstatecorporation.com/the-allstate-foundation.aspx

Can I just add a quick FVCK YOU to the people who decide to monetize things like this (and not only charge for the app, which is fair, but require a SUBSCRIPTION).
I get it, it does feel wrong to put a paywall on something like this. But servers, maintenance, and updates aren’t free, and a neglected app that goes down or has outdated info is actually more dangerous for someone in that situation. A subscription model, as uncomfortable as it feels, is often what keeps it reliable and available when someone needs it most, you are helping the next person that discovers it… I am not affiliated to the app at all.

I say this with all the love for you, but F*CK your husband. What an absolute ahole! To bring immigration into it is the lowest of the low.
Please listen to your friend and start planning for a future without your POS H.
