Ready to leave - the long game

[notsohothotchoc]

Finally decided to leave my partner.
His attitude and behaviour towards me is getting worse and he is happy for me to take the brunt of everything.

So I'm ready to leave but need to be clever about it. He owns the house. And the big things in it so would need to start again for me. I have no savings and terrible credit (no thanks to him).

Has anyone done this this way? How did you do it? When I do have somewhere to go I want to be prepared as we have two small children.

Do you have any family or friends you can stay with? It’s scary not having a plan and having to start from scratch but keep reminding yourself your doing the right things. It’s a lot easier to just stay so you’re very brave OP

See if you qualify for social housing and / or benefits. Lots of housing associations also help out with furniture and how to claim for benefits. They can sometimes even help with debt advice and how to improve your credit rating. Try visiting CAB for advice. Wishing you lots of luck 💐
