  This sounds like one of those arranged marriages where the woman moves in with the husband's family and she is treated like crap, physically and/or verbally abused, denied food, and expected to cook and clean for them like she's their slave.

  Love to scrapbook!

  the solution is very simple-move out. you can go buy your own food you know....

   It's not that simple. I make under $160 every two weeks and he isn't getting a paycheck weekly like he should be. My two week check barely makes our car payment, which is $278.26/month and we pay our bedroom furniture monthly for a minimum or $168/month. Plus we use my credit card because we do not have cash, so we also have that bill to pay. We pay monthly for my school and are doing minimum for our credit card bill. So, no, it's not that simple, you know...

  You go to school, but why don't you work? If the family is gone all day long at the restaurant and you're home, what do you do? Find a part time job so you have some extra income and can buy yourself food.

  I do work. I work in retail for $8/hr.I've been trying hard to save but it's hard.
  
  BTW, thanks for all the nice feedback, everyone
  

   

  part of your problem is that you're making a lot of excuses, and so is he. you have options-stay and suffer OR you and DH can put on your big boy and girl pants and MAKE A CHANGE to make your situation better. dh CAN CAN CAN get a better job that actually pays him (that's really the point of working isn't it? otherwise he's just a volunteer) and you CAN move out.

  or you can always leave.

  the both of you need to get your priorities in order. stay where you are or change where you are.

  also you can work more. what you work 10 hours a week? even if you go to school full time you can EASILY double that.
