I usually post under a different name, but decided to change incase I am recognisable by any chance.

My husband of 15 years just up and left us last week, two kids (11,12) the reason being it's just too stressful for him, he has never mentioned stress before, I reckon it's just an excuse.
I suggested a break, but he just wants out.

Apart from being emotionally and physically shattered, I have been awake most of the week worrying about money, debts, etc.
I have tried to phone/text him about it but he is evasive, doesn't reply and shrugs it off with an 'I'll sort it' I don't even know where he is living.

I haven't worked for years due to either him supporting us, illness, caring for the children and so on, so I don't even know where to start with the job centre.

We have council tax debts with a collection agency in his name, old rent arrears in his name, we claimed housing benefit at the minute, also in his name I think, and child tax credits are joint name.

I have suffered anxiety for a long time, not diagnosed by a gp, I'm too scared incase social services get involved.
he used to deal with the finances, I dealt with the day to day care of kids/house but even that's a complete mess.

I have no friends, and no supportive family. No money. I have no job skills. I can't even drive. I am useless.
I don't know what to do. Please help.
