It's looking increasingly likely that me and DH are heading for separation. Aside from the emotional fall-out of that I am very worried about the financial situation. We have an 8 yr old DD and I cannot support her financially at the moment. I earn about £6,000 freelancing and fear it would take a long time to find an additional job. There would be £50,000 equity each from the sale of the house, obviously not enough to buy another home and I couldn't afford a mortgage. I don't know what we would do or how we would live. The thought of the equity disappearing on rent is soul destroying.
Does anybody have any first hand experience of a similar situation where they have come out the other side stronger? I really need to hear something positive today.
