Hi. I am really at the point of needing to leave my husband.
I do not have the finances to leave (he’s just made me take out a £2000 loan to pay him back for when he paid off my credit card over 5 years ago, I was on maternity leave with 3rd child and then had to return to work part time due to childcare). My accounts in arrears, but was getting to a point where it was manageable which has now all gone out the window. Feel like I’m back to square one.
We are in a joint tenancy with a housing association.
He won’t leave as has nowhere to go.
His finances are bad at the moment due to being out of work for nearly a year, not that he would leave.
I need to me and the kids in our own place but wouldn’t be able to afford private renting.
I don’t know if I explained to the housing association or council the situation I’d then be eligible for a place? We’re currently in a 2 bedroom.
