Name changed. I'm a mum of two young children and have been divorced 2 years. I met my current boyfriend and moved in with him in the summer last year. I've come to the conclusion over the Christmas that he is emotionally abusive to me and is becoming abusive to my children. I am stuck in a situation and i'm not sure how I will get out right now and need advice. I gave up my home last year when I moved into his house he owns. I have no savings, a part-time wage and no one I can move to live with. I owe my boyfriend money for a few bits like my phone, holiday and furniture we have gone halves on. So the story is he smacked my youngest over Christmas and it left marks on his backside for over half an hour. He reacted in the moment to something my son did, but I think it was a complete over reaction. I confronted him over it and he couldn't see he had done any wrong and I am letting my child 'run riot'. He then threatened to break up and block me out of his life and this is a threat he has used many times before. Where do I stand with getting help with housing. I don't know what to do and can only see this getting worse.
