^good info… here’s some things I will add:

Start gathering and making copies of important documents like birth certificates, tax papers, etc.

If you do any shopping get $20 back in cash here and there and stash it away somewhere he won’t find.

When I knew I wanted to leave I stocked my mini van with three storage totes. One for toiletries, one for packaged, snack type foods that wouldn’t go bad, and one with a change of clothing for each myself and all five kids. I had packs of diapers and wipes under the seat for the tot. I was prepared to leave at a moments notice and either stay in the van or head to a friends house or shelter.

Document everything. Keep a journal.

Chin up, friend….. we’re here for you.
