Finally LTB but he came back and won't go

[outofservice]

H left on Thursday night, completely unsupportive after I had a problem at work and after 10 days of him being horrible I told him to leave.
The next few days were difficult, juggling work and a poorly kid and he'd taken the car but I managed and then when I was at work on Tuesday, he moved back in and won't leave (joint mortgage)
Where do I go from here?
I have started an application for universal credit.
Rang the bank and they won't remortgage (to buy him out) as I don't earn enough.
My kids are going into juniors and reception in September, my family are 40 miles away, I live and work in his hometown.
On Monday I hauled a big shop home and he's eating my food, started smoking and stopped going to work.
Any ideas please? TIA

I second he's bullshit ting you. All the demands are both ridiculous and not what a solicitor would advise.

I'd advise you tell him a simple no to his recent list of nonsense and tell him you can either behave like adults and discuss arrangements to move forward or he can behave like an asshat and it will cost him more in the long run.

I know how hard it is to stand up to someone when they've been controlling you for so long. You must do this or he will continue to do so. If you haven't already, read up about the Fog, fear, obligation guilt cycle abusers use to control.

My ex demanded I added him back onto my Facebook, which I initially did, I was so used to being told what to do. A few days passes before it clicked that I didn't have to do that anymore and blocked him for good.

It's really difficult to live under the same roof. I don't think I'll be able to stay much longer.
He could afford to rent but he won't, his pride and ego won't let him leave. His dad lives alone, down the road in a 4 bed house but he won't go there.
I have (only for a minute) thought of leaving him with the kids and taking a bedsit, it's that bad.
