Hello, I have never used this website before but often find myself browsing looking for answers to things ive googled!! I am a google fiend! I just wanted to post this and see if anyone knew anything that could help my situation. I have been with my partner for 7 years and we have 2 children together, 5 and 6. Our relationship has broken down over time and I am unhappy and want things to come to an end. He treats me very poorly and I have let him for years but I feel for the first time in my life I am ready to break free for the happiness of me and my children. He puts me down alot and swears at me a lot, in front of the kids and lost his job for aggressive behavior, he plays on the computer from 11 in the morning when he rolls out of bed until 11 at night when he comes to bed. This is not an over exaggeration, he plays on the pc at the dinner table and me and kids sit and eat tea in the living room because he wont move. He is making my life hell.
My problem is this, we live in a rented place and both names are on the tenancy and he has flatly refused to leave but I live a 4 minute walk from our childrens school and dont want to uproot and leave our home for the sake of disrupting the kids, I really dont know what to do, I went to the council and they were no help at all, I just feel completely stuck and like I am going crazy!? Any advice or guidance would be appreciated so much. Thank you in advance xxxx
