I am looking for advice and hoping that someone can help. I am 6 months pregnant, married 2 years and I think I have reached the stage where I can't remain married to H any longer. His name-calling and abuse reached fever pitch yesterday and he has called me friendless, psychotic, evil and stupid. His family had been bitching about me again- which they often do. He joins in and then tells me about what they said and what he said, which is usually to agree with them. This led to a row. I suffer from depression and have not stopped crying for 24 hours. To avoid drip-feeding, I found out he had cheated 3 days before our wedding and went through with it anyway - more fool me - but I knew it was my only chance of marriage and kids. Our baby has health problems and will need an operation on his lungs soon after he is born. I am terrified of facing that alone.
We have a house together and a big mortgage. Do I have any right to remain in the house after the baby is born? If so, for how long? I have just quit a well-paid job to spend more time with him and our baby. It seems that the change in his behaviour was timed to coincide with this. Either way, I won't be able to afford the mortgage and childcare on my own. I have some savings but not enough to buy another house.
Many thanks for any advice you can offer
