I’ve been married for 27 years and have 6 children, although only 2 still live at home. My husband has been on at me for a while to get a job, despite him knowing I have issues with anxiety and panic attacks, as he blames me for the financial difficulty we got into a few years back which resulted in him being declared bankrupt. I hasten to add it wasn’t all down to me! We simply didn’t have enough money to live on. Things came to a head the other day when I was supposed to start my first day at a new job. I’d worked myself up into such a state that I was having panic attacks and didn’t go. He was furious as you can imagine. He has since said that our marriage is over but that I can stay in the house but in separate beds and he will support me until our youngest daughter turns 16. There is no question of him leaving. He has also told me that he’s only put up with me this long because of the children. I’m devastated. The only alternative to this is if I move in with my elderly parents who live over 300 miles away. He will not let me take the children as he says I am unstable and that he’s not leaving his kids.
