Is there a support group thread for people separated but living together?

I honestly just want to scream. I can't possibly be alone here, there must be loads of people in the same boat?

Truly shit day. I have uni work to do and can't do it as ds2 is being a limpet.
Stbxh originally gave up work to be my carer. When we split, we agreed on 50/50 care of the dcs, except he hasn't yet moved out and has started work, and it is still the holidays. Meaning I have the kids alone, all day, every day, til he gets in from work and plays with them for like an hour while I shut myself upstairs. I'm having to do things for myself that I struggle with as my mum has taken over care stuff but is on holiday atm. I have Asd, im absolutely touched out, stressed out that I have work to do, and feel in fucking edge atm.

Annoyingly, people who don't have exact experience probably won't understand this, but I need to shout into the void. Angry

We've seperated previously whilst living in the same house.
Then we 'got back together' but to be honest, with all the lies and the bullshit at the moment we will be splitting up.
Hoping this time he'll actually leave though. He's bringing nothing to the house apart from paying rent/bills (when hes not gambling/getting in to more debt)

The children seem to misbehave more often when he's home, probably because quite frankly he doesn't do much with them and tends to ignore what they say or cut them off. He likes the sound of his own voice when telling them off I think - to the point DC2 knows he's grumpy...

For all purposes I guess we've seperated without actually seperating at the moment.
