Can i leave?

[mrspicklepants27]

Long story short.. Married for a number of years (less than 10) with 2dc. Dh emotionally and financially abusive. I long to leave. Kids at school and im a SAHM. I have no friends or family here, I moved to be with him (not a million miles but sometimes it feels it)
I have no money, no savings, and nowhere to go. Not a chance in hell that dh will cough up to allow me and the children to leave.
Has anybody been in this situation before and managed to get out and move on somehow with life?
Please help me, I'm so unhappy

If you are married then you should be able to get half the marital assets on divorce. I would go and see a solicitor who specialises in divorce to find out where you stand.

I don't have a penny for a solicitor. He had his house before I met him and he's promised me I'd get nothing. I don't want his house, just to get out.

I think your should phone your family and friends and see if you can stay with them and ask for some help until you can access benefits? also get legal advice to see where you stand and try to starting finding some sort of proof you are being abused even if you declare it to your doctor. If possible try and start sneakily saving any money you can get your hands on?

You don't have to see a solicitor look up your local citizens advice beauru you can get free legal advice there

I found a house to rent, borrowed bond from dgm (bless her), claimed benefits and enlisted friends to help me move while he was at work.
The truth is I actually told him I wanted to leave while he was in the bath - so he couldn't easily 'go' for me. His response was that the new soap was nice. ..
He didn't believe I had the guts to leave.
But I did.

Thanks all, but nothing seems financially viable for me right now, I'm gutted. I can't live like this anymore. I'm at the end of my tether x

Are you in the UK?
If so, phone Women's Aid - you may have to hold on to get through. They can give you advice about leaving and how to check out what state aid you might be entitled to (HB, CTC , access to social housing etc)

Your husband is abusive (to get help you don't need to have been physically abused)
