Mental abuse and domestic violence Mental abuse and domestic violence

2 years ago

I am of age 28 women having 3 years old sick child and basically a housewife . I live with my husband and in laws in their house.
As my husband is economically not that much sound, his parents always mentally harras me with verbal abuse ,taunting, scolding and by threatening to get out of their house with my child. My husband never raise his voice against his parents. My parents never support me always tell me to adjust and compromise as they are economically weak too.
I want a fair chance to live a helthy life with my child who is also a victim of fortune having already having 4 times abdominal operations in his infancy and still have little trouble.
I need financial support and mental support. As I am going through depression day by day. Sometimes suicidal thoughts also come in my mind but I want to live. Plz help me anyway if you can.
