    Dear Ramya,
    Hugs and love to you.I think you have taken this for too long.No you are not leading a normal life.You are living a suffocating life where your worth is your paycheck.You have to live away from your child....thats infuriating.

    IF THERE IS PHYSICAL ABUSE then you leave immediately.

    Your son needs you more than these people.You are staying away from him so you can earn for your DH and in laws..I don't get it.

    DUMP him and take care of your life.You cannot change your DH.

    FL.

    Hi Ramya,
    You have done a few smart things already
    1. Letting your parents raise your kid and consequently keeping him away from your abusive spouse
    2. Being financially independant and saving your money seperately

    So now the next question you have to answer for yourself is, why are you still in the marriage? What is the reason to continue with a greedy man that is abusive and an irresponsible parent? Based on what you say it sounds like you should go and live with your parents and your child. Your primary responsibility is towards your kid.


    Today morning on my way to work I was listening to a program on the topic of domestic violence.
    Domestic Violence and the Economy - KJZZ 91.5 FM - Your NPR News Station
    In that program, they were suggesting that for victims of domestic violence they first try to make the woman financially independant (which you already are).

    Good luck. Be strong for your childs sake and do not put up with abuse.

    No this is not a normal happy married life.
    Also the child is not getting right example of a married life & a positive upbringing.

    However a lot of homes have had such marriages in the past and even today... with a slight difference today that more ladies are opting out of such marriages & not bothering about society anymore. Physical violence should not be tolerated.

    Answer to your question: No you are not leading a normal life.

    My advice: Walk-out.

    Reasons:

    1. They have first cheated you by providing false information
    2. Emotional and Physical Abuse
    This marriage will not survive. Tweak this forum, you will find several such cases like yours and the only option is to walk-out. File divorce, have custody of your child, work hard and focus on your career. Life will become peaceful eventually.

    I see absolutely no reason for you to stay in this marriage. your so called 'husband' is a useless and terrible father, husband, and family man.

    You need to leave this marriage.
