To Whom It May Concern: I had an argument as usual on property that I feel I own half of from my husband. He is presently in the hospital undergoing surgery. I asked him for the car keys so that I can go to work and come see him in the hospital. He had given the keys to our youngest daughter. I told her later I had to go to work and to give me the keys so I can drive to work instead of using public transportation. She said that she couldn't until she talk with her father. I was applaud. I am his wife the mother of his two children. He has treated me unfairly throughout the marriage. Nothing is in both of our names except the car insurance. His brother and him own half of the house we reside in with our two children. The bank accounts and all other things my husband has our in his name only. Do I have a right as his wife to drive the car he purchased during our 22 years of marriage? I want to separate sometimes from him but then I love him. I am tired of the mental and sometimes physical abuse from him. What can I do to make him understand he can't abuse me anymore. Why are my children taken sides with him. He treats them bad at times too. They are 21 and 19. We are not the best of parents but we do our best to try and keep our family together (especially in this day and time). I need some help so that I can feel comfortable with my family or I need options to move on. I am 53 and my time in life is near the end (one day). Sincerely Audrey C. Smith P.S. My husband is a mommies boy. His mother is steadily dictating what he should do with me and my girls. I am tired of them interferring in my husband's and my life. They have been doing this since day one of the marriage. I know his mother means well a lot of the time but I didn't asks for this in my marriage. It has caused a bad relationship in the marriage and it will continue until I leave or she passes on. He has a brother (who is part owner of our home and is legally blind). My husband has to take a big part in taking care of his brother as well as his marital family so that the mother can have some peace in her retirement years. The other brother abuses the mother has no friends and I get tired that we have to take him on. He is 54 years of age and has no right controlling his mother like he does. We see them everyday or they call us every given minute each and everyday. I am tired. Sincerely audreycsmith@verizon.net
