Fed up if being called a fat cow fed up him controlling the money and fed up of his refusals to help and up of him encouraging the kids to swear at me and call me a fucking ciunt. He undermines me constantly the kids side they won't leave withme. How can I leave them.

Are you ok?
Can you contact women’s aid today?
Sending you strength hugs

pinkbirdie · 30/05/2018 11:02

This is very sad to read op! I hope you find a way out soon and have happy life Thanks

Itscurtainsforyou · 30/05/2018 11:16

Op - please see this as an opportunity. You need to find somewhere to stay temporarily. Your sister offered, can you take her up on it?
Contact women's aid - get some advice on what to do about getting some things from the house.

Contact the bank about the account that you don't have access to. Speak to the police about financial abuse - I don't know what their powers are, but if he starts to move money they will have a record of your report and the date so can look back if necessary.

Your kids have unfortunately grown up thinking that it's acceptable to abuse you because they've copied their dad. You've done a good thing by leaving because you're not prepared to put up with it. They will hopefully come around in time. But you're not doing them any favours by staying.

Good luck

You can stick with recommended solicitor but it's still worth ringing women's aid for practical advice now.
