I have been separated since March 17, was married for 19 years and have 3 DC. After several years of being up happy in an emotionally abusive and controlling relationship and several attempts to leave previously I finally plucked up the courage to leave and not go back. First few month were horrendous and several calls to the police following harassment, verbally abusive and threatening behaviour from my STBXH. Who would deny this and says he is a good husband!!
Things did settle down as long as a refrained from any contact. I want to move things on and progress with the divorce. He demanded that I put the house on the market as he said he would never agree on a settlement unless I moved out of the family home even though the children live with me. So I did the work on the house and it sold within two weeks.
Now he is just ignoring my messages email and text. I don't want to meet with him face to face as this result in a barrage of abuse and aggression from him. Previously just a simple text has resulted in a barrage of abusive messages until early hours in the morning.
I know I can get a mortgage and I've found a house. But I can't get him to communicate. I can't afford massive solicitors bills and buy a house and survive on a days to day basis. Any advice on how I can do this without it costing me an absolute fortune in solicitors letters? How do I get him to communicate?
