Simply, no. First, abandonment means that you leave home and stay gone for a year with the intention to not come back. More to the point here, if your husband's behavior made it impossible for you to stay in the home in safety, HE would have abandoned YOU. See 30-2-1 (a)(5) Code of Ala. 1975 and cases Perry v Perry 162 So. 101 and Shelton v Shelton 263 So. 2d 505
