Six months ago, Amy moved in with her parents and brought her daughter, Ella, with her. "I really had to choose between taking care of my daughter and living with my husband," she says. "We can't afford to stay together, and he's not welcome to live at my parents' house because he doesn't have a job and they find that disrespectful." 

Amy says she stopped wearing her wedding ring when she moved out of the house. "I blame him," she says. "As my husband, he's supposed to be able to take care of a family."
