How much do finances play into an abusive relationship? My mother was very emotionally (and on occasion, physically) abusive towards my father, and it really took a toll on him. He thought about leaving her, but she was the only one with a steady job and they had 2 kids to care for. Whenever my dad got a job, my mom forced him to take time off to drive her places (She was too paranoid about driving to do it herself), and she often caused scenes at the place he worked at. Since he got fired a lot because of this, he was very financially dependant on her. Is there any advice on getting out of a relationship like this?
