Hello, just after a bit of advice. My husband is emotionally abusive - he shouts a lot, gets angry, threatens suicide a lot etc. I have 2 teenagers and it’s getting worse. Tonight one of them did something he didn’t like and he ran upstairs shouting really loudly and threatening to break the door down. Obviously they are traumatised and worried he’ll kill us- don’t think that’s a concern but can see why they think this. I have the recordings- it’s awful. He’s refusing to leave the house , I want to buy him out but I have taken on a second job so I have to work maybe 3 months before I apply for a mortgage. He’s refusing to come off the joint account. I am waiting for thé solicitor to call me but could use some advice. Should I tell social services? Can anyone make him leave? He ‘just wants his money’. Ironic as I earn 3x what he does and he just spends it, hence why I want separate accounts. Can the bank just switch all your direct debits to another account or do you do it all separately? That way I can take myself off the joint account. Thank you for any advice.
