Hi Vinn2016. I'm sorry that you're having a rough time with your husband.

I encourage you to seek support from family and friends as well as professional help. You can talk to your doctor. You can also contact Relationships Australia via the web or call them at 1300 367 277. For crisis support, you can call LifeLine on 13 11 44.
For your husband, MensLine Australia is a professional telephone and online support and information service that is available 24/7 at 1300 78 99 78.
And if you find yourself in immediate danger, please call 000.
