But, me and my partner have split up due to him being emotionally abusive towards me for years. At the moment we are still living together in the same house (mortgage in his name) he can't afford to rent somewhere and pay the mortgage, i can't afford to move out or pay the bills for this house on my own (part time working) and don't have any family to stay with. I do have a stake in the house so if we sold it i would get my money back but partner is refusing to sell it due to child starting school soon and doesn't want to cause any upset in his life. He thinks us still living together will work yet he is still controlling me. Turns the internet off from 7pm, doesn't want me downstairs on an evening, touching me innappropriately eg last night as i got ouf of the shower walked in my room as i was dressing and touched my boob, this morning touched my bum and when i told him not to touch me he said old habit but laughed.. He knows exactly what he is doing and knows i don't like it as i never liked it when we was together. We sleep in separate bedrooms also and he knows there is no going back. I just don't know what to do now. I've worked out finances if i could manage to leave and i will get £1300 per month this includes UC, work. Pay and maintenance. How the hell am i even gona live on that????
