How can I go on after finding this out?

In Mississippi, where I live and practice, the law has abolished the exemption for spousal , which used to give immunity to a man who d his own wife if they lived together. Mississippi law also makes domestic violence which would include the battery of one's spouse a crime. However, Mississippi has retained an exemption for a perpetrator of ual battery on his spouse if they are living together. What that means is a man is free to batter his wife as long as the battery is ual in nature. So, you can ually ault your wife as much as you want, and never be prosecuted. How can I not kill myself now that I have found this out?
