    I know a woman going through this right now. Last week he kicked her kids out of the house and they were forced to sleep in the car. She was afraid to leave them in the dark unattended so she slept on the porch to watch them. He had the nerve to come out and tell her she was making a spectacle for the neighbours and if she was going to sleep outside she should do it in the backyard so that the neighbours didn’t see. This was the night before her first day at a new job. Her last two jobs had similar incidents where he would wake her in the night screaming and deny her sleep so that she couldn’t perform adequately the next day. He controls their food, tells her he hates her, is always going insane about her kids making noise in their rooms (most times she goes up there and the kids are bloody sleeping - I think he also has delusions). Its appalling. Constantly threatening to throw them out into the street. Police won’t do anything because he’s not punching her and she’s trapped in a nightmare.
