To move into a woman’s refuge centre?

[CookieMonsterMummy]

I don’t have a good relationship with DH. Feel free to read my previous thread:

The situation now is we have sold our house and have to move out in 2 weeks as that is the exchange date.

He told me previously his uncle will let us live in his rental house and obviously we pay but there will be no contract so we can live there till we find out next property. I’ve been asking him about this daily and now with 2 weeks to go you can imagine how stressed I am about the living situation. As usual any attempt at having a clear conversation with him and getting answers has resulted in him swearing at me and going upstairs to sleep (we sleep in separate beds).

I’m feeling really stressed. I have zero savings and no money as I work during term time part time and now with holidays haven’t been earning anything, all my money goes on the kids and food shopping and I haven’t put anything away. I know his plan all along has been for us to move in with his mother so he’s been lying about the rental so that I will have no options. He is not struggling financially at all he’s a very high earner. We have separate bank accounts so I have no access to any money. I don’t know where I’m going to go, I came across womens refuge but I don’t know even if I should contact them. Can anyone tell me if I would be considered someone who could call them and what are these places like if I was to go with my 2 very young kids? Has anyone got any experience of womens refuges please?

Would you contact Women's Aid? You can ask them specific questions. Your husband is doing financial abuse to you. In the UK there are charities that help Asian women, l don't know if this is relevant to you. You can Google this. I know of a woman who went to a refuge. It is a safe place for women and children. They have links to supports and services also, to help you move forward. Good Luck and l advise you to get the best experienced advice from Women's Aid.

Agreed, approach Women's Aid and Citizen's Advice Bureau. Also Shelter, who are really helpful.

They can all help with applications you'll need for tax credit, UC if you seperate.

Thank you for your replies.

OP great advice here! I used Shelter and Citizens advice. The women’s shelter I was sent to was filled with Mums and their kids. We were all in the same boat. Please get out while you have time, but do contact them first. They will protect you.
