Seperation

Husband walked away from me and my 2 kids 4 months ago due to many reasons and difficulties we have faced in our marriage.
He had been emotionally abusive and I believe he has narcissistic rage in him as he has squared me up aswel. Basically i feel very on edge around him. He left very abruptly.

We have since had a 50/50 split and are also going through mediation. He lives with his parents i stayed in the main home even though he told me to get the f out after he had left. I refused and remained there.

Now he is trying to get back together his parents no longer want him there. This will affect my kids living arrangements and I worry about them aswel. We have had very little contact during this seperation and it has been really formal and not friendly at all.
For the sake of my kids I was adviced to give it 1 more try.

and I really am lost in my decision. Any advice would be valued.

Stop and take a deep breath OP. This is a chance for you to safeguard your future. You say he was emotionally abusive and has rage inside him-is that someone you want to begin another relationship with? He’s not going to change.
my advice: woman’s aid, and keep yourself and child safe.

Advised by who? Let me guess, his parents who just want shot of him.

No, don’t take him back, he won’t leave as easily next time and you could end up in real danger.

He's saying he wants to sell the house now and live separately. I can't afford the home.

Selling is usually the best option, as it gives a clean break.
Are you able to either buy in a lower cost area, or rent where you are, if you need to for work/school?

I ended up filing a case with police and now I'm so worried as they are going to contact his workplace as he works with kids. This will affect my kids & my future massively. They said it's low level coercive control. But they may have to tell his line manager.

If you both own the house he has a right to be there
