Even if I accept the kid / adult dc will choose to live with him .I still don’t know how to leave
one adult dc will never leave home and needs caring for .
so if I push through a sale of the house ,neither of us can afford more than a one bed ,yet we have 4 children (1 child ,3 adults early 20s )who need housing .
I have no money ,no pension,I’ve not worked in 20 years .due to extra needs of 2 dc
all I have is half of a house ,that if I sell the kids are homeless.
dh is perfectly happy ,sees no problem,kids cant remember him being the vile bully he was to me when they were younger ..he’s better now ,so I put up with being unhappy..
but in an ideal world I’d leave ,I just don’t know how
I have only the possibility of a caring job ,which won’t pay the rent on a 1 bed .,where we live is very expensive,
which is why adults dc are still home
so if you left ,after being a SAHM ..how …how did you leave .

Have you been to citizens advice op? They were great when I left my ex husband. I worked part time but had a pre schooler and no family or childcare help. I was entitled to universal credit which I used, we sold the house and I used that bit of money to put a deposit on a small place. I now work full time now my daughter is in school and things are still very tight financially but I'm so much happier and better off alone. You'll be entitled to help so just make sure you check out everything you can receive and sit and work out finances as a starting point.
