Is this hell ever going to end..

Had to name change as I was outed locally a while ago.

Basically I am living in the same house with my ex. There are no other options, believe me I would have taken them.

I have a DC, not his thank god.

Ex is a manipulative twunt and even though I ended it because I discovered infidelity, apparently it is me who wants all this, his words not mine.

I have been away for a week with my DC and it was just lovely, but I came home to a vile atmosphere, he told me straight away he wished I would just leave, then would not acknowledge my DC or me.

He keeps telling me leave, I really don't have anywhere to go.

The house is on the market and I just spend each waking moment hoping we get a buyer, as this is just shitty beyond belief.

Sorry this has happened to you, last year I was in the same position and it was terrible. Got so bad that evantually went to WA for advice and they suggested I go into refuge with my kids which I did for several weeks. I was lucky enough to be able to afford to buy my ex out of the house so had to remortgage which I did. I am now absolutely broke but at least I have a roof over my head. my xb does not work so eventually got a house from local authority which he rents but it took me 6 weeks of hell to get him to move. no real advice to give but hope it works out for you. Stay strong and seek legal advice .

This too will pass, this too will pass... Just keep reminding yourself this.

Avoid him wherever possible. Arrange weekends away with your friend and parents, get in the bath, get set up in your bedroom so you don't have to share the living room and so on. Save and start packing. If he is abusive, ring 999 and give your location.

But essentially, if there is light at the end of the tunnel and you have to cohabit, just stay out of his way - its only for a short period of time and yes you shouldn't have to, but sometimes life sucks and we have to make the best of it our own selves, of no-one is going to help.
