Delphi Room

I am a married Women, with 2 years Old Daughter. My Husband is 9 Years elder than me, and he had a Divorce in his 1st Marriage. My father died in my early age and I have an elder sister and My mother was a school teacher, we are a middle class family. I had completed my post-graduation and aspired to go abroad , 3 years ago. Through a distant relative, we got this alliance, initially I and my mother hesitated as he had a divorce and had 2 children (Two Sons, where he has taken custody of them). But He was very rich, had some properties and was doing many Business and was very Influential. My family and relatives convinced me that, I and my future will be very comfortable, and I will be very happy. Initially before marriage , I requested they should allow me to work, and I have to support my mother financially which was my only condition for which he accepted and said even , “ Your mother is like my mother, she can stay with us itself after marriage” . But everything changed after marrying him. He is an alcoholic, he abuses me physically and sexually and did not allow me to go for work or neither even provided money to run day to day expenses. He even stamped me on my stomach, when I was 7 months pregnant. He threatens me saying, If I try to leave the house, or doesn’t obey him , he might also go the extent of killing me without his conscious. I feel so trapped and my entire marriage life has become a threat to both me and my daughter. I got 2 times Job offers and was so desperate to go, but he didn’t allow. He is a very influential person and my sister and relatives only supports him and advices me to adjust. I want to come out of this and live a safe and peaceful life. Please advice me How this can happen in my present situation? I wanted to first feel safe from him, even if I move alone, But getting out of this house itself is now a Big Challenge...
