my mum is 73 and has been caring for my dad in an abusive relationship for a number of years. Suddenly yesterday she finally decided she had had enough and has walked out on him. She wants to move in with me and my husband and we are ok with this knowing how much she has had to put up with over the years, but we could use some advice on what to do next. All she has left with is an overnight bag, no money or anything just what she stands up in. We live the other side of the country and there seems to be so much to sort out. She is on medication herself and although she is fully able to look after herself at home she is not very mobile and was being visited by district nurses jointly with my dad. I am not sure how to find out what allowances, pension and suchlike she is entitled to as he kept a very tight rein on money, did all the shopping and bills and stuff so she is not financially aware. I could really use someone to talk to about the situation if anyone could help
