How do I begin to rebuild my life?

Well only afew days ago I posted in here asking was i wrong to not trust my partner. Well now I have actual proof hes been messing around with other women and I have to stop being a doormat.

I've told him I'm done and that either he's leaves the house or I go with the kids (this is impossible for me as I have no money or anywhere to go).

I'm living in a foreign country with my 2, kids and I have no family and even though I'm so angry with him I am also actually devastated.

How do I begin to rebuild my life? I can't leave the country as the youngest is his and I don't know what to do.

I'm trying to be strong and put on a brave face but I feel so trapped here and I just need some advice or words of encouragement please.

If he's your partner, surely you can do as you please? If there's no marriage then there's no legal requirement to stay I would surmise. If, however its financially difficult then you need to get your ducks in a row, get a job, make plans, save money ...or ask a friend/family member to help.
Don't despair. There's always a way.

I think the Op means she can’t take his child out of the country?

Do you have anyone at all around to offer support in real life?

We aren't married but we have 2 kids . I can't legally leave due to the kids. I can take holidays but without his permission I can't leave.

Although I feel very alone here with little friends I feel staying here is the best option for my kids and their future but obviously I can't and don't want to be with him as I know he'll never change.

As much as he's done and how badly he's treated me I can't just turn off my feelings but I know there is no going bk x
