I told my partner of 10 years who I share 2 children with that it was over 2 days ago. He's been controlling both financially and emotionally for years and I've finally had enough. He's been drinking 12 cans of cider a day for more years than I can count. He has cut down to 4 a day in the last week as I told him how unhappy I was with it. But I decided Friday that I don't want this relationship anymore. He left and went to his dad's. He says he won't let me keep the house and will take the children from me. I've applied for an occupation order and I've contacted a mediator for the children. I'm willing to be fair and to do everything that I can in the children's best interests and to help them through this. What am i supposed to do next? I'm so stressed and scared about what he will do next. He's currently sending me lovey messages saying how he will change and I don't have to do this. He's taken the children to his dad's overnight and is bringing them back today as they're obviously at school tomorrow. He's been telling me my dd8 doesnt want to come home and wants to stay there. Although he has promised to bring her back. Will he get the house? Despite his abusive ways? I have no where else to go, I burned all my bridges with my family since being with him as he doesn't like any of them and I haven't seen them. I put up with everything for 10 years to keep the peace but I just cant anymore. Any help would be massively appreciated. Xx
