How to have the strength to leave my relationship

[Mumma1799]

thank You for reading, I need some courage & to be told everything will be ok.
back story, I have a child from a previous relationship & a baby with my current partner. He has given me the silent treatment for 5 days now, won’t respond to calls/texts, made no effort to ask about his baby or to see her, coming home from work and going straight out. All this started last week because I was moody. (I’m exhausted & feeling over whelmed with doing absolutely everything on my own with no support emotionally or financially, or help with the baby & housework from him) Anyway I’ve made bare minimum contact with him to try sort things & im being ignored. He’s avoiding me like the plague. The house we live in is mine that I have a mortgage on that I brought myself before I met him. Tonight I’ve decided I’m done, I can’t live my life like this, being a single parent would be easier than dealing with this as well. How do I leave him? I’m so scared of being a single parent again, moneys right as it is & im not due back at work till next year. I know 100% I won’t be able to afford childcare costs in my own to go back any earlier.
just looking for advice & support thank you.

Sorry to hear your having a tough time.
I had a similar situation with my sons dad when he was a baby. You have to do what you think is best for you and your children. You are right, it is easier being a single parent than having to deal with a relationship that isn't working aswell as everything else.
You will be ok and you will manage. I'm not saying it's easy but you will soon find your feet.
In regards to money, I obviously don't know your circumstances but you may be entitled to Universal Credit if you do become a single parent.

I hope everything works out for you

He will also need to pay child maintenance. He sounds horrible. I hope the father of your other child is also paying, that might help a little bit.

Id maybe do an entitled to type benefit calculator, after which I think you just press ahead and kick his sorry ass out.

you will be fine and you’re doing the right thing. Silent treatment and stonewalling is a form of abuse

You pack his things and he leaves. He's actually making it super easy. Where he goes / is going is now nothing to do with you.

You are fortunate that the house is yours, you have not married and therefore in theory he just moves out.

If he's made contributions to the house / mortgage it might be different but even then any financial reimbursement would be decided by the court.

Work out child maintenance and check benefit entitlement. You might find you're not as disadvantaged financially than you thought.

Take back control.

Hello, did you manage to get out in the end? How did you get on? Hope it all went okay.
Going through something incredibly similar myself right now, looking for answers too
