As the title says really. After a long time of sexual abuse, and living with my controlling husband. I've left him.
I am currently sat on my friends blow up bed, with my DC asleep between my legs.
We have no where to live, little money, some clothes and a few bits somebody kindly gave us from Facebook. And I have to make a new life for us from this. I have no idea what the future holds right now or even what today brings. My DC is finally asleep but I'm pinned in this position I don't dare move!
I guess I'd like any advice on what to do next, as well as a huge amount of handholding. I can't help but wonder how it got to this. Is there such a thing as emergency grants from social services or similar? How would I go about accessing it and what do I need? I have no paperwork of any sort with me and I doubt I will be allowed anything.
Thanks for reading.
