Hello ktgirl, Welcome to SR! I'm so sorry for what brings you here, but you have found a wonderful and supportive place.
I thought I might bring some additional helpful links to your attention. Contained within the following thread is a variety of useful information.

One number that many here have relied upon is the number to the counselors at the Domestic Abuse Hotline:
For the US:
National Domestic Violence Hotline:
1-800-799-7233
This phone number is staffed 24 hours a day by some of the most extraordinarily compassionate, wise, and helpful people you may ever talk to. When you feel comfortable doing so, you may find it helpful to talk to them about your options.
Please take good care, and feel free to come here and vent or ask questions any time.
