1 year ago

Hi sir!! I am facing problem with my husband , he is suffering from bipolar syndrome which leads to mood swings and irrational behavior, he shouts ,abuses and even threatens to attempt suicide blaming me for that now he threatens and inform that he will stop my financial support without which I and my 6 yr old daughter cannot survive, he dissapers off and on and blocks the my communication with him and his relatives which also includes my in laws. Recently he has watsapped msgs to all my friends and their husband's claiming that he is a victim of domestic violence which is completely false and he and my inlaws intend to spoil my image in the society. I recently had to sell off my jewellery to make my ends meet...
Is there any solution to these atrocities and to claim the financial support, I am unemployed and totally dependent on my husband...
