You should consult a knowledgeable immigration attorney, preferrably the one who has practical experience with VAWA self-petitions.

Why didn't you apply for a 'green card' within these 7 years of marriage? Why your wife never petitioned for you?

To qualify under VAWA (especially for a man), you have to prove domestic abuse, violence or extreme cruelty on her part. Simply abandonment doesn't constitute 'domestic violence'. Assistance of an experienced attorney is highly recommended when filing under federal VAWA law.
