I want to leave controlling DP. No fuss, no battles, just walk away... But looking for help and advice has lead to so many dead ends that I feel I'm trapped forever.
I have savings. I had this stupid idea I would be able to get a private rental. Money isn't enough, apparently. References, guarantors - I have no way of getting these because I'm retired and totally isolated. I lost contact with family years ago and have not been allowed friends. Also online help is so limited. I am not alone enough to be able to make phone calls.
I feel like I have tried everything (eg woman's aid, Refuge, shelter, local charities) I feel like unless I'm in immediate danger or make myself homeless then I'm stuck.
I'm so unhappy.
Can anybody offer me any hope?
I just want to slip away quickly and quietly and start a new life,that is all.
