I worked as a police officer when we got married (quit when the kids were born) so I knew I could put a hurt on him if he tried to get violent even though he was twice my size. He knew it, too.

I worry, though, that your husband might get physically violent with either you or the kids, since I have seen it happen.

You'll qualify for the....sm
FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act) which is designed to allow people up to 12 months off for an approved absence. The criteria is listed on the US Department of Labor's website at: http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/fmla/ During this time your employer must keep your position open and have the health care benefits available. You would be required to pay the premiums. No company is required to pay for leave of absences and very few actually do in the US.

PS! One more - check to see if you qualify for low-income

but if she is charging for her services, then she is not a charity and would not qualify -
