I am single Mum of a year old daughter. I am a home owner so get very little financial help, I work a couple of nights to just about cover the bills.

The thing is that I kicked my very abusive stxh out of the house and now feel very unsafe living here. I have done everything I can to help me feel secure (security lighting, changing locks, peephole etc). I have been threatened by both him and his family and they are a scary bunch!

I really really would love to move, but how on earth would I even go about it with no money? I feel so scared living here Sad It's not like I can get social housing as I have a mortgage. Does anyone know anything I can do? I can't move far as I rely on my mum for childcare on the nights I work

Can you rent it out and stay with your mum until the situation calms down ?
Or is there any way that you could buy a less expensive property and free up money from your current property to finance the move?
I would suggest talking to your mortgage lender for suggestions, unless of course you own the home outright. In which case see a financial adviser in order to work through options.
What do the Police say about the threats from your ex's family? Really sorry but I'm no legal expert and someone may come along and correct me on this but can you get a restraining order?

Move yourself into rented, remortgage current house as buy to let. Interest only payments on mortgage. Spare cash from rental income after mortgage payer can be saved up.
Sell the house. Move somewhere smaller if possible. Sorry if overly simplistic but perhaps will get you thinking on the right track
