Confused I filed abandonment but what about the cruel and inhuman treatment?

It's finally getting towards the end of my lengthy 2 year divorce process and I feel a great deal hasn't been brought forward regarding the abuse I suffered. I could really use some advise. My lawyer continues to ignore the abuse while separated and during the marriage. Forced work (he owned the company I worked for for 12 years, married 7 years) until documented and physician supported breakdown/fatigue/depression/suicidal tendencies, no support while undergoing treatment until court ordered a year later, destroyed property, termination of employment as soon as diagnosed, no unemployment because he wouldn't "fire" me said I "left", turned off all credit cards used during entire marriage yet under his name but I contributed payments, changed locks on our apartment and would not let stay for medical attention, reside or enter, left me with no home but for my family, has ruined my credit due to failure or extremely late payments on court ordered support such as utilities and mortgage, had to move into incomplete house we jointly own that had no bathrooms, heat, kitchen or hot water ect... the list goes on. My lawyer makes it sound like I'll be lucky to get my lawyers fees payed when it feels like to me it's so obvious he forced me to an expensive ordeal due to his negligence. I filed for abandonment but now I want to file for cruel[ and inhuman treatment also. Can I or is it too late now that were beginning the last phase with the start of negotiations? PLEASE HELP!!

You sound miserable.
How many years are you willing to drag this on, for the slim chance that you might make something out of this argument?
Finish this phase of your life, make a clean break, and move on.
