I wish she would have left him, but she was afraid to and we had no place to go.
Back then if society would be more like today and not like you wish it was my mother may have had a chance or at least an option.

As sad as your story is and I have sympathy since my dad was part of an abusive family. The reality of it is that for the 10% of the people that really need to get out of a marriage the laws are there. The other 90% get screwed because the other 90% get to leach off the system put in place for people that really need it.
