How can I separate from my partner of 28 years? I got with him when I was 19 and he 32. There was always a power imbalance. He is emotionally abusive and I can't bear to be with him anymore. He has worn away my self esteem over the years.
The teens want to stay with me. Neither of us have the money to live alone, except for him to share a house with someone (£800 all bills) or possibly a 1 bed (£950pm) place as renting is mental here.
I would like to avoid going through the domestic violence route if possible. I don't think he will go. I don't blame him.
I had a mental breakdown last month after years of struggling with my mental health.
I will call CAB tomorrow and seek their advice. I just don't know where to go or what my options are.
I don't know why I have written on here really. Perhaps if someone else had been through this. Thanks
