@507 Who owns the home where you are living? Is this a rental that you can move out of? Are you receiving any disability or social security income in order to support yourself? Do you have other family members, adult children or relatives that can help you and be there to talk to?

Have you contacted the sheriff yourself? It's common for someone who wants to control everything to act like a victim and to call a sheriff and blame someone else trying to paint a picture to protect themselves while they continue being abusive. A sheriff is a good source for the community services that they can find in your county for elder abuse or battered women. There is help out there, but you need to ask for it.

How is your attorney involved in this? If this attorney was involved because of a divorce, they may consider that their job is over. That is why it is better for you to talk to a sheriff and to look for ways to break ties and leave this situation. You don't need to make this person happy. It is easy to think that would make the abuser stop, but it won't. He is what he is, and you can't change him. Please take care of yourself because you are worth it.
