He sell my car and said that he will provide me with a car. Then he bought a Ford `ranger on my name, that we did sell last year. He bought a Mercedes for me to drive with. I have broke off the engagement can't take the abuse anymore. I still live with him because he said I must resign and work for him. I had a good salary, medical aid and pension. He said he will give met R10 000 per months and pay all my diesel. Every time he is drunk he said if I leave the house he will take the car and don't pay my salary. On Monday he was drunk again and swears at me and then I lost it and swears at him too. He said he wish I could just leave the house, I have no place to go. Then I decided that I will go to my family in Northern Cape. He said he will take the car and my salary if I leave. I don't know what can I do that is legal. I can't stay in this house anymore. Yesterday he let with his friends to go and kuier. He said If I leave his dogs at home and go sleep with my daughter he will take my salary. Is there anything I can do?
