Start now to plan your future alone. Start a savings account in another town, put a little bit of money in it every week - whatever you can manage.
I saved up first, last and security for getting out of there and into my own place. You have to protect yourself - not just financially, but also emotionally and physically, and this is the first step you can take to do it.
I felt extremely empowered when I took this small action in protecting myself. It took about 9 months to save up the money - in the meantime, my ex was up to his usual tricks of deception and lying (for us it was about issues other than drugs).That's what I did, anyways. We'd been married for 18 years by the time we finally divorced.
