I thought it was too good to be true when he just diappeared for a while. I have posted on here before about going to womens aid and have never managed, either he ahs stopped me leaving, followed me or the children have got chicken pox or whatever.
I wondered why my Income support stopped. Found out he had been claiming JSA, told DSS he had moved back with me, so we have to have joint claim now, i told them i didnt want to go on joint claim as we werent togtehr, but they said I had to as I would no longer be able to claim on my own. My tax credit had stopped and was told it would take 4 weeks to make fresh claim and I was in debt anyway, as I have had unexpected expenses and bank charges. At least going on the claim with him meant I would get some money.
However, they needed documents which it took me a while to find, so JSA will be delayed and I'm not sure he'll give me any money anyway. Tax credits have to be applied for jointly now and when they receive the form, it takes them 3 weeks to receive it on their system apparently. And then another 2 or more weeks to issue payment.
When I separated from him before it was 6 weeks before I got child benefit, IS or CTC and I was living off money borrowed from relative and he is broke now so cant help anymore.
Now he is being horrible again and making me cry constantly, I can't manage to enjoy my children and I want to get away but no money to do it with now. I could just about pay for train fare but don't think I could cope with womens aid. I am exhausted now and they are very few ground floor rooms with womens aid and I'm no good keep coming up and down stairs to use the kitchen etc
I don't have any relatives or friends who are willing to put me up and feel so vulnerable with no money
