How to LTB with nowhere to go and no money??

Genuine questions and not trying to cause arguments. MN'ers are sometimes quick to advise to LTB, but what if you have nowhere to go, no family or friends? Nowhere to go with your pets at short notice and no money to pay for their boarding?

And no money to even rent a room?

Or in the case of an abusive relationship, either no space at a refuge, or one several hours away?

LTB to some could mean sleeping rough or in their car (which you would need to sell to raise money) Sad

i know what you mean, if i leave it will have to be to a refuge and that's risky because i'll have to leave in the morning before he wakes and if i do it i can't go back but refuge might not have space so then i wouldn't know what to do having my DC and no money

If it's not possible to leave straight away then you have to start making a plan. I'm not sure how it works in the UK but I guess phoning womens aid would be a start and see what they can advise about getting a plan in place.

Many women feel defeated and hopeless then guilty it is a terrible cycle, I guess getting intouch with womens aid is a first step to leaving and having somebody supportive and non judgemental might help.
