Divorce: My abusive husband took away almost all my savings and even got me into a large debt I married more than a decade ago and my partner has been physically, verbally and financially abusive to me. He took away almost all my savings and got me into a large debt. He has been taking money from me on and off all the time but it's been much more extreme in the past few years and he repaid very little. For example, he made me take out a loan for tens of thousands of pounds in September last year and has paid the EMI [equated monthly instalment] for a few months and stopped.
